GM’s vehicles are not true hybrids, since they do not recove”r kinetic energy when coasting or stopping.”
Are Toyota’s true hybrids, by your definition?
You are the engineer, not me. I’m very much results oriented.
I’m also impressed by superior engineering, tested by results.
The fact that Audi has won the 24 Hours of LeMans, about 11 of the last 13 years, using gasoline, diesel and lately hybrid impresses me.
The company that may beat them is Toyota, I believe, because hybrid is the latest technology being used.
I drive an Audi. For high economy vehicles which I like include the VW/Audi diesels, and Toyota Hybrids.
Toyota does recover energy.
