University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute estimates Toyota, Honda, and others will sell at least 1.2 mln hybrid vehicles by 2010 – about 7% of the US automarket. Currently there are roughly 235 mln cars and light trucks on the road in the US today. Less than 0.1% of those (some 200,000) are hybrids. Insurance companies have accommodated the trend, many offering discount auto insurance designed specifically for hybrid drivers.
