In the 1800s and early 1900s, there were several experiments with electric cars and hybrid vehicles. The first modern mass-produced Hybrid, though, was the Japanese market Toyota Prius, in 1997. In 1999, the Honda Insight became the first mass market US hybrid. The US market Prius was introduced one year later.
