The cars, two of which were produced in association with major OEMs (Ford and Hyundai/Kia), exhibit substantial environmental and fuel-efficient benefits through low-cost hybridization. The problem is, while needing to reduce emissions, it is necessary to keep production at a relatively low cost. Earlier post.)
