HISTORY
Since the mid 20s of last century hybrid cars were out of the spotlight for many years. It was not until the mid-60s, when humanity begins to realize the consequences of pollution and this is becoming unmanageable.
In 1966 the United States Congress recommends the use of electric cars to reduce pollution. The industry starts moving timidly. At about that time, the engineer Victor Wouk said that the future was not on the electric motor, but in the hybrid gasoline / electric, which earned him much criticism.
The first modern prototypes
In 1969 the all-powerful General Motors shows three prototype microcar, one electric, hybrid and another just another gasoline, the XP512 (top). The benefits were anecdotal, and their numbers were generally no more than technology demonstrators. In the same year they released a prototype normal car, the Opel Kadett Stir-Lec I (below).
