HybridExperience

Many consumers and organizations are seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint. One relatively new technology, hybrid electric vehicles, offers a technology based solution to reducing fuel consumption, carbon emissions and smog.

The Hybrid Experience Report is a program of the Fraser Basin Council, an independent non-profit organization headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Council manages a number of programs under an umbrella name of GreenFleets BC. A goal of these programs is to provide accurate information about real world performance of fuel efficient technologies, widely share this information and encourage their adoption.
