It\'s been more than 100 years since an American engineer registered the first hybrid vehicle in 1905.

Back then, there were only 2 options: those made from asbestos and those comprised of a semi-metallic material. Unlike today, suppliers didn\'t offer a range of different models with varying resiliency and prices. Those simpler times have passed, of course. Asbestos models are all but gone... more...
