WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Diesel Hybrid Electric Cars Soon?: "It's a 'mild hybrid' -- the electric motor is used for power assist, not as an alternative source of motive power -- but it is designed to be an 'add on' to existing diesel engine designs. According to GCC, the designers claim a '30% improvement in fuel economy and reduced emissions against the baseline conventional 2-liter diesel.'"
Given the lifetime of cars this might be quite a good thing while more 'full-on' eco-designs get up momentum [pardon the pun -but not too much].
