UC Davis to Challenge X with hybrid vehicle, Trinity
UC Davis has strong history with hybrid cars, especially plug-in hybrids, so it comes as no surprise that students from the University will enter Challenge X. "UC Davis is the latest entrant to the upcoming Challenge X, a competition to develop a fuel-efficient SUV sponsored by the Department of Energy and General Motors. The UC Davis team's entry, called Trinity, is a modified Chevrolet Equinox whose batteries solely power the SUV for 50 miles before switching to the gasoline-electric hybrid system. A fuel cell powers secondary electrical systems such as air-conditioning." (AutoblogGreen)Labels: electric cars, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrid vehicles

why don't they try diesel hybrids. With diesel as clean as it is, it seams like it would make perfect sense. Don't trains run on some sort of a diesel hybrid?
Diesel hybrids are coming, but they might not have much impact in America, simply because diesel hasn't been popular. Diesel hybrids; however, will be big in Europe.
