VW to jump on the hybrid bandwagon by 2009 - Autoblog (#)

„You do understand that the largest waste in a diesel engine is when it starts up (I believe that is due to compression vs. spark in gas, etc), thus, without some great re-tooling of the diesel, a hybrid that is starting and stopping the power of the engine all the time would not be good for a diesel. Now, you could do some variations of it that might work, such as a hybrid that is 100% electric in start and stop traffic and switches to the diesel on the highway ...“

Comparing Accords: Diesel, Hybrid and Gasoline (#)

„In a sense, it™s not a fair comparison”the cars, even though they are of the same model family, target different consumers with different levels of performance and features. (Furthermore, the diesel isn™t offered in the US.) Honda opted to create a performance hybrid with its Accord, thereby somewhat reducing the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions benefits. Had the company implemented its IMA hybrid drive with a smaller, more efficient gasoline engine, the results would be much better.“

2007 Detroit Auto Show: Clean Diesels are Coming - Features - Car and Driver January 2007 (#)

„Until then, the real fuel misers will be the wave of clean diesels heading to the U.S., which generally improve fuel economy by 20 to 30 percent compared with their gas-powered siblings. And not only do the diesels improve fuel economy, but they don’t sacrifice towing capacity or highway mileage as hybrids do, which seems to make diesels, and particularly diesel SUVs, a perfect fit for the American market.“

Green Living 2004-2005 Toyota Prius and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta Diesel Compared - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Let's face it. The Jetta diesel will never be as clean as a hybrid, because it's a diesel and because the hybrid spends a good part of its urban-running time in zero-emissions mode, driven by a mighty-mite electric motor fed by a hefty battery pack. That accounts for its stellar 60 mpg EPA city mileage figure, which many purchasers have mistaken for the mileage they might actually get around town, which, in our case, was far lower ...“

„Secondly, the auto manufacturers will be asked to set their production target in a way so that 50% of their production comprise flexible fuel vehicles (FFV), alternative fueled vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles in 2012. After 2016 at least 10 percent of the 50 percent requirement must be met by hybrids, advanced diesels, plug-in hybrids and other non-FFV vehicles.“

2006 Paris Motor Show (#)

„But the high performance C-Metisse also is green -- in the environmentally friendly sense. The low-slung four-door concept shows off parent PSA/Peugeot-Citroen's hybrid diesel-electric powertrain technology. The C-Metisse is powered by a 208hp, 3.0-liter, V-6 diesel supported by electric motors in the rear wheels that offer 20hp and 400Nm of extra torque. The car's top speed is 250kph but at 50kph its fuel consumption is 6 ...“

The Super Prius is Coming - Popular Mechanics (#)

„A "Diesel hybrid" wouldn't be a slam dunk for greater mileage. During what would be idle or low-speed driving, the Prius's gas engine is taken off-line and the electric motor takes over. Thing is, a Diesel engine does not suffer the same dreadful efficiency at low-throttle openings, so you couldn't take a 45-mpg Jetta Diesel, add hyrbrid technology, and come up with a 65-mpg vehicle.“

Little publicized until this month, the hybrid diesel has been successfully tested on the road and could be rolled out early next year in FedEx pickups, according to a Forbes Magazine (November 24) column by veteran auto writer Jerry Flint.“

PSA Peugeot Citroën Unveils 69MPG Diesel Hybrid Prototypes (#)

The boys might be a bit pessimistic with battery technology - if you could put a Lithim battery into it (+ plug in capability[easy]) you would have a winner.“
