Part B (Level 2) (20 marks)

Green Vehicles ―― The Hybrids

The CLP Power Hong Kong Limited has introduced two Green Vehicles. The introduction was as follows.

The Green Vehicles – the Hybrids - are

designed to save resources and protect the
environment. The hybrid system consists
of engines (use petrol) and electric motors
(use batteries). It can save the petrol and
greatly reduce the emissions during
driving. Additionally, this system can
overcome the problems of electrical
vehicles – slow in speed and long time in
recharging.

Official ceremony of the Hybrids

1 Complete the following energy change(s).

a i energy of petrol → ii energy of the car (2 marks)

b i energy of batteries → ii energy → iii energy of the car (3 marks)

2 Why does the manufacturer not only use electricity to move the car? (2 marks)

3 Why are the Green Vehicles considered as an environmentally friendly design? (6 marks)
4 The Solar car is another example of environmentally friendly design. How can we modify a traditional
car into a solar one? Design a solar car in terms of its outlook, use of material and the way to collect
solar energy. Draw your solar car on the answer sheet with labellings. (7 marks)
