The global market demand for hybrid-electric vehicles will grow approximately twenty percent annually through 2010 predicts the research firm, Fredonia Group (Title: World Hybrid-Electric Vehicles to 2010). The popularity of these fuel-efficient vehicles will be driven by erratic fuel prices, increased emissions regulations, and reduced cost disparities between HEVs and gasoline vehicles.
