First Diesel Hybrid

Diesels are the superior design in terms of efficiency. Petrol engines require a spark for ignition, which creates hot and cold spots during ignition. Diesels fire the fuel into a cylinder full of hot/compressed air, whose pressure and temperature are consistent across the volume of the comnustion chamber. They also generate more torque at less rpm then petrol engines do, which allow the engines to operate under less stress.
Diesel requires less refining; its higher cost is purely political

@supersonicboom1975 well just imagine if you had a hybrid
-
Kia rio will do 88mpg claimed so real world 75 mpg add a ybrid system to that you will get about 50% more mpg lots of tourque and a few ponies so if i go on tv and some one asks if i have a prius ill say no i drive a bio diesel RANGE ROVER V8 which is proably more enviromentaly friendly then a shitbox prius

I have a Citreon C3 1.4 TDI, when driving efficiently around 100 km/h it use also 4l / 100 km and that without a Hybrid.

Can Clean Diesel or Bio-Diesel, which is now proven to be a cleaner fuel than regular gasoline and even bio-fuel, be a fuel to be used with a hybrid drive system? Why haven't we gone diesel if it has been getting better miles per gallon and has been proven to be cleaner for the past decade?

Personally, I prefer diesel to gas, since it's more efficient and lasts longer. As for hybrids, they're not efficient for use everywhere, and you're paying for technology. Diesel fuel's cheap to make, since it's the by-product of gas. There's no need for diesel to be this expensive, and in Europe, diesel costs less than gas, and I can see why over 50% of cars in Europe are diesels, not to mention diesels last longer with proper service. Diesel is a winner over hybrid, PERIOD!

Yes, diesel price should be about half of the gasoline's (At least in Algeria).
To keep selling vehicles they have to come up with new things: gasoline, then gasoline hybrids, then diesel, and then diesel hybrids, then plug in diesel hybrids and then... You got the idea, just like the computers, core 2 duo, quadcore, etc.

if the oil industry didn't have the auto industry in thier pockets they would have been producing these vehicles a long time ago!

if the automotive industry wasn't in the pocket of big oil they would have produced such a diesel hybrid years ago

Well said! If diesel cars and trucks were to use their engines to generate electricity and power electric motors at the wheels instead of mechanically powering the drive wheels, they'd be off the charts in terms of fuel efficiency. The diesel/electric platform has been powering trains for 60 years; why cant it be scaled down? Jeep made a diesel/electric concept vehicle that got 110mpg. Big trucks would benefit tremendously from this platform. Just imagine the cost reduction in fuel consumption

the thing that people dont get, (most americans) is that, yes the price of diesel at the pump is more expensive then petrol but generally diesel engines prove to be 30 to 50 percent more efficient. so you pay more at the pump. but don't need to go back hardly as much.
Basically, this is the order of fuel efficient cars for current technology.
Diesel hybrid>Diesel>Petrol Hybrid>petrol
My Diesel Full Size Dodge Ram gets ave. 25mpg. Diesel is the only way to go.

Yeah i agree, i have a HDI , normal diesel injection with a particel filter (not a hybrid )and already it saves 40 % compared to my gasoline car i had before and its the same modell. Thanks for watching.

And you can fill it up with biomass :O
How much :D

Yes, diesel and biodiesel, its suppost to cost around 29000 euro.

LOL, don't tell me it is true ... you left the cap on the lense? LOL
207 looks cool in Stormtrooper-design ;o) ... oh, and a stormtrooper lady there, too ;o) Awesome even if you didn't get the others in colour ;o)

yeah i really mest up the peugeot video , i hope you can forgive someday :) Atleast there star the 308 hybrid was on there.
Stormtroopers were everwhere this IAA especially BMW they only had 2 cars in non white. I like white pretty much if the glas is darkened strongly.
