French auto maker PSA Peugeot-Citroen believes it can deliver a car with 82 miles a gallon by 2010, using hybrid diesel engines that will join two fuel-efficient technologies. “That’s the future. It combines the best of both worlds,” says Thomas Sedran, partner at Munich consultancy Roland Berger. “We believe it’s worth taking the challenge because a diesel hybrid combines the strong fuel economy of diesel with much lower carbon dioxide emissions,” says Gilles Michel, head of platforms, engineering, and purchasing at PSA Peugeot-Citroen. PSA’s hybrid diesel models cut fuel consumption by 28% and carbon dioxide emissions by 39% compared with a regular diesel model.

With the torque of a diesel being superior to a petrol car I don’t see any issues.

These are all good but I will be glad more when I see more efforts from big car manufacturers on CNG operated automobiles.
