Nothing has to be invented to produce a plug-in hybrid vehicle,” says Dr. Andrew Frank, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of California at Davis and Director of the UCD Hybrid Electric Research Center. For example, an area pest control company has pledged to buy up to 150 light weight plug-in trucks, once they are produced.
