Summary

The rapidly growing concerns over the reduction of carbon emissions coupled with highly volatile oil prices have forced the global automobile players to invest massive amounts into the development of advanced and better alternative fuel vehicles over the recent past. The concept of hybrids has emerged as the most viable solutions and has been gaining considerable attention among the industry players. This trend is clearly visible from the fact that the hybrid car sales worldwide showed a positive growth compared to an overall decline in the global automobile sales in 2008, says our new report Hybrid Car Market Forecast to 2012.
