Hybrid Car - More Fun with Less Gas

(AP) - A 1.5-liter in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine, left half of the mechanism, and a generator and a 30-kilowatt electric motor, seen under an inverter on right, are mounted on the same shaft between the two front wheels in this model to show the hybrid power train of the Toyota Prius during a press preview by Toyota Motor Corp. in Tokyo in this Oct. 14, 1997 file photo. Placed on the left pole is a gas tank while a Nickel-metal hydride drive battery is placed on right. The Prius celebrates its 10th anniversary in December, 2007. (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye, file)
