Background to this research
During the past two to three years the hybrid powertrain has to all intents and
purposes become part of the mainstream. Where even five years ago there were
some lingering doubts that hybrid vehicle might be something of a side show
because strong technical performance from high performance diesel engines,
together with downsizing and turbocharging, seemed to be able to deliver the
fuel economy benefits in a more effective manner both for the OEM and the
consumer. market research books
However, not only is hybridisation here to stay as part of most OEMs’ mainstream
offerings, there have been large gains in technology performance and relative
cost benefits, as OEMs and suppliers have devoted significant resources to
bringing the on-cost of a hybrid powertrain down whilst improving performance.
