There are many different kinds of accessories available in this website. The first is Prius bumper protector. When we load or unload some of our luggage from the car the rear bumper may get scratched. So is the bumper protector. This is made on the Toyota models and has an adhesive like strip which fit firmly on the bumper and prevent it form scratching. Prius window deflectors- These side window deflectors help in reducing the heat of the interiors and also help to decrease the noise of the wind. The material is generally of high quality and has been brought from Germany. This deflector comes in a set of four and has no external adhesive. Prius front end mask- This is a very unique accessory of the hybrid cars that protects the front panel of the vehicle and also gives much sporty look to the car. It comes in a variety of colors.

Any consumer looking to purchase a hybrid vehicle knows the name Toyota Prius Hybrid, and knows that it is the foremost and oldest hybrid vehicle on the market. When I say old, though, I don’t mean decrepit. On the contrary, this particular hybrid looks as sleek as the name sounds, a futuristic look that is sleek and new. This particular hybrid was the first released to the public in 1997, and has remained one of the more distinctive, well-known hybrids. An initial look at the Prius shows the car’s unique upright headlights, the interestingly functional and trendy bonnet and bumpers, showing just how unique the vehicle is. Even if you were to completely ignore the unique look of the vehicle, though, no matter how head-turning it may seem, the Toyota Prius is still one of the absolutely most intriguing hybrid vehicles available now.

With today’s petrol prices not appearing to be heading south any time soon, it is little wonder that more and more hybrid cars are coming onto the market. These cars use a combination of petrol and electrical power so that you save at the service station. And if you have a social conscience, they’ll also help save the planet through reduced emissions. While Honda was first to introduce a hybrid into the Australian market, it was the Toyota Prius that made hybrid motoring a real option for fuel conscious motorists.

The Toyota Prius has a small petrol motor and a small electrical motor that work in unison to propel the car along. To the driver, there probably isn’t much difference between driving the Prius or any other smallish car. The engine switches from the petrol to electrical motor without any need for the driver to do anything, so in that respect, it’s business as usual for the driver. The electrical motor recharges its batteries during deceleration. All these actions are performed automatically thanks to the on board computer under the bonnet of the Prius.

Now you can rent a “green” vehicle.

Hertz Global Holdings Inc. has announced Thursday last week that it will spend $68 million to add 3,400 Toyota Prius hybrids to its fleets by 2008. Avis Budget Group Inc. meanwhile will be making 1,000 hybrid Prius vehicles available for rent as early as this week.

“This is a first step,” Brian Chee, an automotive analyst for Autobytel.com’s soon to be launched Web site MyRide.com said. “It’ll be interesting to see if the rental car companies continue this. Like other companies, they’re making a ’green’ statement, and this is a good way to do it.” Chee believes that even with the fleet expansions, hybrid vehicles still represent a small part of rental car fleets.

By replacing 1,000 of its ordinary rental cars with the gas-electric Prius models equipped of course with top of the line Toyota parts; Hertz said it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 3,000 tons per year.
