yeah, I've seen a few of those too. this is more "electric assisted" .

or parallel hybrid I guess, tho it would never be electric only.

be interesting to see a graph, of what sort of gains you could get from adding that sortof thing to a diesel.

wouldn't be super $$ to just add the motor and controllers etc, question is how many mpg would it get you...
