French unveil hybrid cars
Peugeot and Citroen appear on course to have a hybrid diesel-electric production car available before their target date of 2010.
The French car companies have unveiled Hybride HDi concept cars at the Geneva Motor Show...
They continue a trend over the past year by companies as diverse as Subaru, Ford and SsangYong who have announced hybrid diesels.

The one thing that bothers me is "23 kw" motor or 30 hp. This is way too small.

Re: French unveil hybrid cars
well considiering how efficent a diesel engine is (remember its no petrol, it has very different characteristics) I think the motor is mostly used in stop and go traffic as well limititing the cost of the hybrid system itself (probably smaller batteries too).
But its still pricey!

Re: French unveil hybrid cars
I guess the next step in creating the "perfect" eco-car would be a diesel-hybrid in which the "diesel" aspect used vegetable oil and the "hybrid" aspect used lithium polymer.
Of course, it would help a *lot* if Americans would get a little more realistic about how much horsepower they need. The 400 HP behemoths have got to go!
