Hybrid cars send close to zero harmful emissions into the atmosphere. This is done by combining the standard gas engine with an electric engine. This electric engine is called upon when the gas engine is being overwork or in need of help. What this does is it cuts down on the use of the gas engine significantly, causing less and less emissions to fill the air and pollute the air.
