The VW Golf TDI Hybrid Concept demonstrates the fuel saving potential that is possible when a detuned, high-tech, latest generation 74 HP turbo-diesel engine is combined with a 26 HP Electric Motor and a 7-speed DSG (Dual clutch automatic) transmission.

Hi Bomber:
___The following should help … If you want the NEDC specs, I have those too but the Euro Urban/Extra Urban and Japan 10/15 driving cycles are posted on the US EPA site too.
___WRT the Golf Diesel-Hybrid, you cannot exactly compare CO2 output on the NEDC combined due to Diesel having about 10% more CO2 output per L consumed but you can compare the FE on the same FE test cycles.
Toyota Prius-II: 54.7 mpgUS combined - 104 g/km on the NEDC.
VW Golf TD-Hybrid: 69.2 mpgUS combined - 89 g/km on the NEDC.
___Missing is that the Prius-II has been available for 4 years now whereas the Golf TDI-Hybrid is still just a working concept
