Expect more Mazda hybrids?

A hydrogen combustion hybrid soon?

According to the InsideLine "Mazda is putting its money where its mouth is in the effort to become a green leader."

"Mazda has several interesting green options in the pipeline, including a hybrid-electric vehicle with a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine that is due next year."

Already Mazda offers the Tribute hybrid, but the company has indicated an interest in developing its own proprietary hybrid powertrain. Will this powertrain be limited to hydrogen? Will it be a flex-fuel hybrid - either hydrogen or gasoline?

Ultimately, there are more questions than answers regarding Mazda's green drive and how it relates to hybrid cars, but if Mazda is going green, it seems unlikely that the move won't include a serious hybrid effort.

The Mazda Tribute hybrid was on track after the Ford escape hybrid. The latter is said to be less responsive so car enthusiasts are hopeful that this issue will be resolved in Mazda hybrids. Perhaps this hybrid will have a better quality brake parts like Mazda brake shoes that will resolve the issues in Escape hybrids.
