Hyundai's
Blue Drive is a hybrid drive that utilizes lithium
polymer batteries, rather than the NiMH batteries
powering many of today's hybrid vehicles.
Hyundai's lithium battery is also a good bit different
than the lithium batteries being explored by virtually
every other automaker. So, this is a move that could
instantly turn Hyundai into a major player in the hybrid
segment.
Battery
experts suggest that mass manufacturing of lithium
polymer batteries could be much more cost effective than
other lithium battery technologies.
Currently,
Hyundai is already selling lithium polymer hybrids in
South Korea.
Expect the
Hyundai Sonata hybrid to hit the States in October of 2010.
