diesel hybrids
Until the EPA can get it's head out of it's ass, and NY, MA, CA, ME, and VT do the same - diesel is not going to be the answer unfortunately.
But would be SUCH an easy change, the cars already exist, US manufacturers already can make them, the pump infrastructure is there....
Bah, it just ticks me off every time I think about it.
electric motor and diesel motor or electric/diesel generator?
This is something that has confused me about the current generation of hybrids we have now. Why do they clamp a traditional gasoline motor onto the damn things? If electric motors are so efficient wouldn't it make more sense to have a gasoline powered generator kick in to extend the range of the hybrid? Or is this going to be the next evolution of the hybrid ala the Chevy Volt?
Ok, a series hybrid is the terminology for it. Thank you.You're describing a series hybrid and that's exactly what the Volt is. The motor is only used as a generator to charge the batteries on long hauls.
