I got in a discussion about hybrids and got to thinking (always dangerous ).
All the current hybrids use a gasoline engine along with an alternator to power the vehicle, that's fine for small cars and little SUV's like the Escape.
However a more serious vehicle would need a more serious power plant, and I got to thinking about a diesel hybrid. Seems like that would be a natural for a big SUV or truck. Whoever offers a good setup first would have a good marketing edge... say a full size SUV like a Commander or an Escalade that gets 25 MPG?
So am I nuts?
If not who do you think will come up with one first?
I'm betting on GM, they need it badly for their big SUV's and the GMC trucks.
Of course what do I know, I push a mouse for a living .
