i also wish, but an hybrid may not be that pratical, you need to
charge using electricity, which comes from burning of fossil fuels
in singapore in natural gas form or obtain from marina
barrage....so it utimately still in one way or another pollute the
environment, in addition, in singapore, if the DD will to come to
singapore, the depots need a retrofit....
However, i welcome SBST taking in more volvo DDs...but most prop

You don't need to charge a hybrid vehicle. A hybrid uses a
diesel engine as normal vehicles, but has a function like
regenerative braking and such, charges the large battery on board.
The battery power can then operate part of the vehicle's function,
like air condition or braking itself. The main drawback is a less
powerful engine on the vehicle.
Main thing to note: Hybrid vehicle =/= Electric
vehicle
Folks who know me well know that I support hybrid as green
vehicles all along (only for being clean and fuel saving). Hybrid
is one of my better choices, but talk about being clean and fuel
efficient, IPT would be the better choice. Search for Inductive
Power Transfer. Although this technology is more costly...
