Three firms lead US hybrid market
A report shows that hybrid car sales in the United States experienced a significant surge in 2026, increasing by 20% in the first half of the year and achieving a record market share of 15.4%, roughly three times that of electric vehicles. Toyota dominates the market, having sold over 600,000 hybrid cars during this period, followed by Honda and the Hyundai group. The success is attributed to early corporate investment in the technology and the benefits of hybrids, which save between 30% and 50% on fuel, with the ability to recover the additional costs within two to three years, despite their higher purchase price compared to gasoline cars. Research firms expect hybrid vehicles to constitute about 25% of the market by 2030, compared to 9.5% for electric cars, reflecting their continued role as a main driver of the automotive industry's growth.
