Government to support natural gas hybrids

A platform for a new round of hybrid tax credits?

Buy a Toyota hybrid today and you will not qualify for any clean vehicle tax credits. That might soon change however, except your hybrid will have to be a natural gas hybrid.

In addition to funding natural gas engines for conventional vehicles and building infrastructure for natural gas refueling, a $150 million natural gas bill ready to pass through the House also includes provisions for the development of natural gas hybrids.

Hopefully, that legislation will include tax credits for the buyers of natural gas hybrid cars.
