DHS Motors Ltd, the local distributor of Japanese Honda vehicles, brought in 10 hybrid cars with ‘green technology’.

The company plans to introduce six cars on average a month from now. In a hybrid car, an electric motor and an internal combustion engine are installed so that they can both individually or together power the vehicle. As the vehicle’s speed increases or demand for acceleration is higher, the internal combustion engine starts and both the power units work together as parallels. The Honda Civic hybrid powerplant combines a 1.3 litre three-stage i-VTEC engine with integrated motor assist (IMA) system, which uses a petrol engine as the primary source of energy. “The IMA battery is charged automatically when the car slows down. The IMA battery never needs to be plugged in for recharging,” DHS Motors said. The electric motor provides additional power during start-up and acceleration, low speed cruising, acceleration and rapid acceleration mode. The system provides performance equivalent to a 1.8 litre car with 47 per cent enhanced fuel efficiency. Civic’s average fuel consumption is about 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres.
