One of the big 2008 hybrid suvs include the GMC Yukon Hybrid which comes with a trademark VORTEC V8 engine and features the first dual mode hybrid propulsion system in a sport utility vehicle.It boasts a 25 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.A lot about it is heard about even if it arrives only at the end of this year.
Some of the patented technologies used in the Yukon hybrid suv 2008 are Active Fuel Management and a advanced innovative hybrid
technology. It will thus deliver up to expectations up to the mark regarding fuel efficiency and power.
The GMC Yukon Hybrid is powered by an aluminum small-block V8 engine which maintains important performance attributes of full-size
trucks, such as towing at 6,000 pounds. To offset the added weight from the hybrid propulsion system, General Motors redesigned
certain vehicle components to optimize aerodynamic motion. These design changes include a new hood, front and rear fascias and a sleek GMC grille.
The all new dual mode hybrid system has a patented fuel saving technology with two different modes for highway and city driving.
The first mode features low speed for low roads and is powered by electric power only.Thus fuel is saved in huge amounts in traffic jams by operating in electric mode only.In the second mode which is designed for highways, the vehicle operates in various hi tech hybrid technologies mentioned above.The four mode automatic transmission system is a powerful minute system that can be used with gas and disel engines.
The GMC youkon hybrid SUV 2008 is also said to save fuel to great extend.This is attributed to "power train" technology which gives fuel economy and Active fuel management technology which automatically shifts from 4 to 8 cylinders when less power is required.
