Far from being some pie-in-the-sky dream, electro-diesel systems practically run the planet (unless we’ve all forgotten about buses, locomotives, large ships and many types of construction equipment).

Diesel-electric cars are _long_ overdue, so all I can say is, it’s about bloody time.

Go Biodiesel!

Any idea what the timeline on this is?
If I remember correctly from an another article a Toyota spokesperson mentioned ‘not earlier than 2010′ for a Toyota/Isuzu diesel hybrid engine – which I would not call ‘soon’.

I just did a search on ‘toyota biodiesel’ and I am VERY happy to have found this site!
The SUV Boom is a scary thing to watch, still I am anxiously awaiting the day they produce a diesel/ biodiesel/ hybrid Landcruiser or Highlander. Family size, tradework capable, road trip comfortable, and what I consider to be the perfect fuel combination possibly available RIGHT NOW. My wife and I are talking about buying a car soon and are nearly settled on a Highlander Gas/Hybrid but I am ready to stop using gasoline. When I saw the Readers Choice Award listing for Toyota’s Biodiesel Hybrid Prius Coming Soon- I realized that what I have been waiting for is possible. I don’t think we will be able to hold out long enough to see that be our next car but the possibility of it happening, thanks to a company like Toyota, is here!

It’s good to see promotion and a race to produce something for a good cause. Over the past few years was the “SUV boom” where most car manufactures created an SUV if they didn’t lready have one, even SAAB and Porsche joined in the race. But now, even after Toyota swept us away with their 50-60 mpg Prius, they keep going and will surely remain the leading company in the race to a cleaner car.
