Starting to look more and more like a "Mad Max" reincarnate...

your right geoff..."mad max 4 beyond bagdad". if this hybrid will only travel 32km on battery only, it seems like a lot of expense for very little return....personally, i would stick with diesel only, a proven technology. the pneumatic suspension looks interesting. g.m. was testing a hybrid silverado for military use a few years ago. they built three pilot vehicles, but i have heard no more on the project. mike
