Hybrid technology has been around for more than a century in the auto industry — the first hybrid car was introduced in 1899 by Porsche. The introduction of Ford's automobile assembly line in the early 1900s led to an increase in the production of gas-powered vehicles, making hybrids basically obsolete for several decades. But a resurgence in the 1970s brought them back, and now hybrid technology is taking hold in the construction industry.
