Dubai Police took possession of 10 hybrid vehicles, handed over by Al Futtaim Motors on Sunday, as part of ongoing efforts towards greener transport and environment sustainability.

 

Al Futtaim Motors handed over Toyota Prius hybrid cars which do not require external charging or any behavioural change from the driver. The Prius uses a petrol engine and an electric motor; it can be powered by the engine, the electric motor or a combination of both, where the system automatically chooses the most efficient mode for the best mileage and lowest emissions.

 

This results in high fuel efficiency, without compromising the driver experience, officials said.

 

Compared to conventional cars of the same engine size, the new Prius offers around 60 per cent enhanced fuel efficiency due to its improved hybrid system, delivering around 26km per litre, and saving significant amounts of fuel during its operation. (GULF NEWS)
