Hybrid Vehicles

Article that discusses the hybrid cars of Honda and Toyota with some mention of American manufacturers.

They discuss the Honda version of the hybrid and how it works, but don't discuss the Toyota method. This bothers me a bit, since the Toyota hybrid system is, to my understanding, a more efficient and economical system.

There is this article from the Economist, which shows the differences in the methodology of each system. It does a better job at showing the various systems and giving data on the mileage.

Still very little on trucks/SUVs in the mix, though Ford and Toyota are saying that they are near.
