Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 - world's first diesel-electric production car

What if they made a hydrid diesel/electric 4wd crossover...

The Peugeot 3008 Crossover, with HYbrid4 technology, is the first diesel-electric ‘Full Hybrid’ production car in the world. Peugeot believe the combination of a powerful yet fuel efficient diesel engine and electric motor is the optimal combination for a hybrid vehicle. Unlike previous hybrid vehicles which have chosen to use a less fuel efficient petrol engine, the HYbrid4’s diesel engine provides a Combined Drive Cycle fuel consumption of 74mpg, and as little as 99g/km CO₂. Drivers can switch between four different operating modes; Auto, electric-only, 4wd and Sport Silent.

The use of diesel hybrid technology also brings a range of other benefits:

High performance combined with excellent drivability
Freedom and simplicity of use
Optional four-wheel drive
Occupant safety inherent in a four-wheel drive vehicle
