Hear hear, again a wonderful fdb piece of technology from Saab. Very well that GM almost entirely R

Saab has announced that they are working on hybrid technology for a variety of engines, including a diesel hybrid. Earlier, the combination proved + diesel hybrid to be an expensive fdb option, but after including a Peugeot fdb 308 diesel fdb hybrid presented, there seems to be more interested. Saab even refers to a fuel savings of 40 percent (by trollhattansaab.net).
Very nice that they are working with the hybrid diesels, hopefully they quickly come to market with this technology. This will be especially fdb in the city (start-stop) traffic a lot of soot and NOx emissions care. Though I think a diesel has less advantage of the hybrid technology. A gasoline engine is performing pretty bad efficiency at part load (eg, partial load is 120km / h with your 170hp). fdb A diesel is doing a lot better at part load. So here is to win. Less return Anyway, it's a good development, and it will be a new generation of fuel efficient diesels trigger I think. Especially fdb companies with lease cars can save so much on fuel costs. Strange little fact in the link. It is suggested that the Prius would not be safe. Coincidentally fdb (state in the comments) is a Toyota as safest cars elected in Sweden, and scored Prius also very good. Saab course should emphasize fdb its safety (brand value), but this journalist do not quite understand in that area.
Hear hear, again a wonderful fdb piece of technology from Saab. Very well that GM almost entirely R & D budget will move to Sweden. That creates Saab again (financial) capabilities to its status as an innovator true!
Tell Robin, I hope that wink is sincere. That bullshit about energy during production about nothing, and must have been conceived by hybrid-bashers, fdb or people who are afraid of new technologies or changes.
Is not this just a disguised Opel Astra hybrid? http://www.autozone.be/auto/artikel/tweedehands-auto/hln_609068.html It seems strong that develop different departments of a parent each a (diesel) hybrid. From the original article: We will get everything to work together. With the next generation of hybrid, we can lower the fuel consumption up to 40 percent. This is possible with the use of more electricity. 40% is suspiciously. Would it be a plugin? (This is possible with the use of more electricity). Or maybe they compare with normal petrol version?
@ Juppe, Yes, you will find that real? I find it more logical reasoning actually. If more energy is consumed in the construction of such a car compared fdb to a normal car. And this percentage would be so much that he hardly is cleaner than a normal car, then we are all fooled ... nice marketing. The then developed technique is also worth nothing because it does not do what it purports to do. Let's face it, a small diesel particulate filter is the most beautiful thing you can now drive. In addition, bio-ethanol really cool, especially the increase of power. But already now ensures that people in Mexico are starving due to rising corn prices. We have hard to find new techniques that make the above function well or properly working.
@ Rovvel, To say that it is a disguised Astra is going a bit far. But the Astra and Saab 9-3 or use the same platform. What do themselves is very different, but there may be shared. Well as costs GM developed with Daimler AG and BMW's hybrid system, the two-mode hybrid system. It is not mentioned in the article, but it will undoubtedly be the same system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Mode_Hybrid @ Robin, That's fdb right, a hybrid car takes more energy to build. But the difference is not as great as people think. In addition, the use phase of the vehicle for an average of 85% charge of the total emissions, and the production and disposal of about 15%. So when the production comes to a few percent, and while using a few percent less, there is already talk of total profits. It just sounds fun when you say that the batteries are polluting. Take that people like, because it makes sense. What comes out of the exhaust is less than forget, because you do not see. Would you save 30% on fuel 200.000km, the savings would be good by the hybrid system 60.000km. That's a huge amount of energy. 60.000km at a consumption of 1:12 (quite common) fdb is 5000 liters or an energy amount of 1.65 * 10 ^ 11 joules. Ie 45,833 KWh. That is what consumes a 1000W heater that continuously turned 5.2 years. Not so much. Production cost that now again The bio happen, I am not in favor of. It is very expensive, it works (alcohol), only in Brazil but is the world a very small scale. fdb To do it on a large scale is a lot of space
