Volkswagen will start making hybrid cars by 2008 with its main Chinese partner and may kick off large-scale production of the energy-efficient vehicles by 2010, the Chinese company said on Thursday...

"We expect that large-scale production will start before the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai," Shanghai Auto said, without providing an investment figure.

It is interesting - here is another company who previously stated they would not develop hybrids and just focus on their Diesel technology, stating they will (though it sounds like only in China).

This would be great if they designed it to run on bio-deisel
