  • Start Ups’ Dreams of Delivering Future Hybrid Vehicles

    Aug 20

    Hybrid vehicles have really taken a foothold as the way of the future of a thriving global auto industry. When the first hybrid vehicles were introduced by the giant car makers,  Toyota, Honda and Ford, the market response was so overwhelming and promising that other car manufacturers abruptly followed suit to try and seize the opportunity to snatch up market leadership.

    It is expected that in a few years time, the market for cars would be greatly overhauled in favor of the hybrids, which are rapidly gaining popularity as gasoline prices continue to soar and the impact of engine combustion on the environment is beginning to be felt. Thus, after the launch of pioneering batches of hybrid cars, many other companies have sprouted up and showed their resolve to move head on against the industry leaders.

    There are more start-up car manufacturing companies today that are aiming to get a strong hold on the  industry, amid fierce competition posed by the long-time veteran Car Makers. It’s  important to note, that these new start-ups could potentially be, the next important companies of the future. They have been ramping up their research and development initiatives to come up with product offerings that are not only on par with the current crop, but also are aiming to be even better.

    With that objective in mind, most start-ups in the car industry are focused on developing, and eventually selling their own versions of hybrid vehicles. Several of these new and emerging companies more than deserve credit for taking the initiative to go up against the challenges and setbacks of competing with giant rivals. Because there are numerous start-ups that offer future hybrid vehicles, the message is further resonating across the industry.

    Hybrid  cars, indeed, are the cars of the future, the hope of the start-ups to penetrate the intense and demanding market. Here are some of these new companies that have emerged since 2006 to enter into the important market for the futuristic hybrid car:

    Tesla Motors.

    The company is based in Silicon Valley and is aggressively making waves to solicit orders for its future hybrid cars, high-performance sports and utility vhicles. The future hybrid car models of the company would be mainly manufactured in the United Kingdom but would be greatly and widely distributed in the United States.Tesla said its future hybrid car model would use sophisticated lithium-ion batteries that would last until the car runs a mileage of about 250 miles at 130 miles per hour.

    Wrightspeed.

    Wrightspeed is another start car making company based in Sillicon Valley in California.  The company used to make computer parts and also used to be an amateur racer car maker. Now, Wrightspeed has decided to take full gears in manufacturing cars, not just average and traditional cars, but hybrid cars. The company has its own list of flagship future hybrid cars, which it is selling on a pre-ordered basis. Those future cars are estimated to last 200 miles before the next recharging is required.

    Zap.

    Auto importer specialist Zap in June 2006 started selling three-wheeled hybrid cars, which are actually made and imported from China. The future cars of the company are said to be able to reach a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. Zap said its future hybrid cars are not just functional and economical, but are also fun to ride at and very sophisticated and chic. The company’s future hybrid car is named Xebra, which is initially priced at $9,000 each. The car can seat four, with four doors and comes in striped colors, barely relative to its namesake.

    Tomberlin Group.

    The group is actually not that new in the industry, but has been failing for some time to gather pace to create a niche in the car making and selling market. The company’s future hybrid cars are also sold on a pre-order basis at about $5,000 to $8,000 each, depending on the model, color and design.
