As Reported in the Car Connection (http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto...173.A9881.html
Volkswagen will produce a hybrid passenger car for sale in 2007, according to a report by the
Wall Street Journal. The paper says that the new VW's hybrid powertrain will be a "full hybrid" like that offered by Toyota and Ford, meaning that it can be operated in electric-only mode. VW will source components from Continental AG and ZF for the new vehicle; the actual model line that will be converted to hybrid technology was not reported. VW's Audi subsidiary has confirmed it will offer a hybrid Q7 in the near future, and a corollary Porsche Cayenne hybrid also has been acknowledged publicly. Hybrid sales are expected to grow by 268 percent in the U.S. in the next six years, estimates J.D. Power and Associates.
