Peugeot the first manufacturer to a small family car with a diesel-electric hybrid power. It is a version of the new model 308 and will be on sale until the end of the decade. Peugeot does not sell in the U.S., but saw the sales of hybrids like the Prius in Europe and elsewhere. Toyota Prius sold around 5,000 cars in the United Kingdom and more than 22,000 Prius cars in Europe. The Peugeot diesel hybrid is equipped with an average of more than 70 mpg. They have the lowest carbon dioxide emissions of a car other than a pure electric cars. Peugeot has chosen to present an offer that they are working to reduce costs.

Meanwhile over in Japan, Toyota bought 5 / 9 share in Isuzu. Isuzu to use the know-how in diesel, Toyota plans to its Synergy hybrid system with a diesel engine. A Toyota Subcompact with this system is reported that up to 2010 are available. In the U.S., you can have a diesel-electric hybrid vehicle and not be realized. City Transit buses, military vehicles, soil, garbage trucks, vans, etc. and have been associated with diesel hybrids for years.

Since diesel engines run optimally at a constant speed highway driving, trucks are a natural for diesel engines. The combination of the diesel engine with an electric propulsion system is a great advantage for heavy trucks, which also navigate streets with their stop-and-go traffic. Other manufacturers, Toyota and Peugeot in addition, are also working on developing their own power diesel hybrid vehicles. These include Citroen, Ford, Opel and Volkswagen. Until 2007, most diesel fuel in the U.S. is the high sulfur variety that is starting to become law in 2010. Now clean diesel starts nationwide are available. This in turn motivates the above manufacturers to develop diesel hybrid electric vehicles.

This new diesel fuel is an ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with a sulfur content of less than 15 ppm. By 2010, there will be more than 53 new vehicles to the emissions of one truck-1988. With the increase in the production of cleaner diesel fuel, which most analysts believe that the sale of diesel fuel is used for more than 10 percent of U.S. vehicle sales in 2015. Also, since diesel fuel is flammable and explosive than gasoline, about 60 percent of U.S. school buses are powered by diesel.

In addition, diesel vehicles are usually 20 to 40 percent more miles per gallon than gasoline vehicles. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, America could be up to 1.4 million barrels of oil per day, if one third of the U.S. diesel vehicles. This is the amount of time for oil from Saudi Arabia. These figures are for the pure diesel vehicles. A diesel-hybrid electric vehicles would be even more on oil.

Finally, diesel drivers have the possibility of fueling vehicles with biodiesel blends. This is a fuel produced domestically in the U.S. further reduces the dependency on oil. By turning on a diesel-hybrid electric vehicles, American can save money at the pump, without power and performance that drivers expect from us and focus on.
