The Union of Concerned Scientist, a non-profit science advocacy group in the U.S., has released its second annual Hybrid Scorecard. The organisation criticised hybrid car manufacturers for not delivering on the technology?S promise, for placing performance above fuel efficiency and environmental benefit and burdening hybrids with features that put them out of the price range of average Americans.
A total of 34 hybrid vehicles from the 2011 to 2012 contoh year were tested for their fuel efficiency, environmental impact, value-for-money and their so-called ?Forced-feature premium?. The latter is features that don?T improve fuel efficiency but probably make the cars more appealing to money-conscious consumers.
