But we want to give them cause to continue to press forward." ( MIT Technology Review ). The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution. "Were encouraged by the improvements in the technology represented by hybrid batteries today," Savagian says.
