Your next hybrid, from Malaysia?

To fight high gas prices, the Prime Minister of Malaysia has announced a plan to develop a line of hybrid cars. "Under the 9th Malaysia Plan, the Government has outlined the need to encourage the use and development of sustainable and renewable energy resources", the Malaysian newspaper The Star reported. The hybrid in question will be assembled locally by Johor-based LM Star Autoworld Sdn Bhd and offer 50 percent fuel savings with a new technology called hydroxene, The Star wrote. (AutoblogGreen)
