A Hydraulic Hybrid BMW built by Artemis Intelligent Power in Edinburgh. This vehicle has none of the disadvantages of traditional electric hybrids, with fuel savings on the highway and when driving aggressively. The hybrid transmission can regenerate energy from more agressive braking because there is none of the traditional charging rate issues that other electric-hybrids have.
I have since seen another video which explains it, the hydraulic fluid is used to compress nitrogen in a cylinder, not hugely complex so looks viable.

Interesting video but very little information on how the system works, regenerative braking is an area that stands to make some real gains.
