Emergency Hybrid Response Vehicles

Quite often when people have not yet shown an overwhelming
interest in something, the government will provide a little
push to get them started. For example, to get a program
rolling, the government buys a million emergency hybrid
response vehicles. Now, every city in America gets to
participate in the experiment. Next, the manufacturer generates
a promotional campaign based on their product and a strong
concern for safety. Where better to present this than to the
huge post 911 forum of emergency responders? With a little luck
this campaign takes on homeland security proportions and becomes
a great success. It's all about putting the idea out in the
public eye.

The term emergency hybrid response vehicle is already a
hodgepodge. You can bet that to the corporate geniuses who put
the buzz words together, they are worth billions of dollars,
but what do they really mean? Webster says `Hybrid' means "an
offspring of genetically different parents" – fair enough. That
explains the strangeness of terminology. Of course, to respond
to something is to take appropriate action, the point being
just that – a response rather than knee-jerk reaction.

Emergency responders have a hundred years of experience dealing
with accidents pertaining to internal combustion. Accidents
within the hybrid arena can involve high voltage, potential
explosions and hydrogen handling issues. This gives them a
practical heads-up on dealing with the new technology and
points to the future trends being promoted.

But why choose the emergency vehicle to promote hybrid
response? Well, petro-chemical fueled vehicles, emergency
generators and alternate electric powered devices, still need a
fuel source and are subject to supply limitations whenever
disruptions to the distribution chain occur. This happened
after hurricane Katrina and threatens to happen whenever Middle
East unrest stirs world market fears. Hydrogen fuel is easily
produced. We're now another step closer to understanding
emergency hybrid response vehicles.

The crystal ball says that emergency hybrid response vehicles
are here to stay. The technology still has major glitches but
it must be getting close. As a side note, you can bet the
military budgets will soon allocate funds for a whole bunch of
emergency hybrid response vehicles. Let's see what happens when
the gas prices soar and oil supply lines ultimately dry up. At
least the emergency hybrid response vehicles will be out on the
roadways!
