In the last year or two,
executives from Peugeot have made very positive
statements regarding the future of hybrid vehicles,
essentially claiming that hybrids ARE the future. The
idea being that Europe's diesel vehicles will become
diesel hybrid vehicles and, eventually, fuel cell
hybrid vehicles. Today, the costs of such a vehicle
are probably too expensive for most consumers, as
evidenced by Toyota's recent statements
on diesel hybrids. However, as more suppliers
provide the technology for clean diesels and hybrids,
costs will reduce. Consequently, Peugeot is showing
off its C-Métisse diesel hybrid vehicle at the Paris
Auto Show, which could hit the streets by 2010
according to MSNBC.
