[img]Using the new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine and a 25kW (34hp) electric motor, the hybrid will be capable of a 20 mile (32km) electric-only range. It is understood a plug-in system is to be fitted, with extra electrical energy stored in a battery pack. [/img]

[/img]Ambitious as this project may seem, Land Rover is quite confident it will be achieved. Market launch is 2012 and testing begins next year where up to five prototypes will be used.[img]



Now the climate protesters will stay away from the RRS!!!!

20 mile range! What a waste of effort. I guess they have show willing. Best thing LR can do is shed weight from their vehicles, I feel these hybrids are just going to pile on even more pounds???? 2010MY Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE

cheap tax though

Yes it's all about being below government co2 targets and thus saving owners money on road tax. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

.......as long as the world turns and irrelevant of "current" rules and regs......the words road, savings and tax will never bond. All the companies wrench their Co2 outputs down, just how do the govt continue to fleece us............oh yes, fuel tax, VAT....silly billy me.

Just goes to prove how this whole B t sham has gotton way out of control. 100g/km - for 20 miles and its greener than the green goddess..........utterly ridiculous. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Besides the 20 mile range, if they (which I assume) also use the braking energy, then this will indeed be a good advantage as here we do loose some. So without thinking about emissions, this would be inmho a better system. RRS SDV6 HEV Dynamic
