Hybrid vehicles popularity has severely grown from a couple of thousands
in early 2000 to close to 300, 000 by the end of 2005. The trend is
rapidly catching by the auto-leasing industry with nice tax credits
and incentives on proposal if you go green.
Starting in 2006, businesses and taxpayers who lease, or purchase, an
environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle will likely be eligible to
claim federal income tax credits worth thousands of dollars. Individual
states also offer excellent incentives, including hybrid state tax credits,
new High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes access and discounted thruway tolls
for other-fuelled vehicles. And that's not all you can redeem from going green! You can now save on your parking fees at a bunch of universities and various auto-insurance companies are offering insurance discounts for hybrid-vehicle owners all over.
If you wish to take advantage of these incentives and contribute to energy
conservation then see HybridCenter.org and complete a personal profile
about your driving needs and habits. You will get in-depth advice on hybrid
models that would make economic sense to you and everyone else, state and federal incentives accessible where you live.
