Hybrid interest article
#3
If they really want to make a hybrid be worth the trouble and expense, they need to make diesel hybrids, maybe even diesel/electric drive hybrids. Electric wheel motors, and the diesel just runs a generator, and the batteries will provide the lower speed juice to the wheels.

Diesel electric has been working in busses and locomotives for decades. Then the diesel can be biofueled as well. All wheel drive, and each wheel is powered properly based on traction and slippage.

If you were told it would cost 32-35K,. would last 200K+, and that it would really get 35+in city when the diesel was generating the juice, and 40+ highway, and ran great on biodiesel, would you be interested?

you would not believe the low end power that thing would have with both the batteries and the generator sending current to all 4 wheels at full pedal with no tire slippage..
