Glossary

From Jim Walczak,

Definition: The latest trend in motorized vehicles. By combining top-notch fuel efficiencies and ultra-low tailpipe emissions, hybrids are some of the cleanest and "greenest" motor vehicles around.

Also Known As: Hybrid Cars or Full Hybrids or Electric Vehicles of Hybrid Powered Vehicles

Common Misspellings: hybred or highbred

Examples: Hybrids are powered by a gasoline or diesel engine, as well as a battery-powered electric motor. Mileage in a Hybrid vehicle is noticeably higher (from 8-10% or 2-3 mpg), compared to non-Hybrid vehicles.

Thus, maybe also called: العربات/ السيارات/ وسائل النقل الكهربائية
or: التي تعمل بالطاقة الكهربائية

Just viewed Hazem's answer and links. Amazing suggestion!

But, I still think that a common reader wouldn't understand what a سيارة هجينة is. I'd go for it if the text explains what is it later. Otherwise, I'll stick to my offered answer adding the term هجينة as "also known as". What do you think ? :)
