Hyundai planning diesel hybrids

Blue Drive or a mild hybrid powertrain?

Sometime in 2011 Hyundai plans to produce a small number of electric cars, but the automaker believes it will be at least another 5 or 6 years after before EVs are produced in any meaningful numbers. Thus, Hyundai plans on adding diesel hybrid vehicles to its hybrid portfolio, in addition to gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas hybrids.

Currently, the only officially planned hybrid for the US market is the Sonata hybrid.
