    Found an interesting article in one of the major swedish news paper. Unfortunately it's only available in Swedish but I'll do a summary translation here:

    [IMG]
    Volvo Trucks plan to introduce hybrid trucks, busses and heavy work machinery in 2009."We are the leader [in hyrbid technology]" says CEO (?) Leif Johansson

    The technology absorbs energy from braking and the article says the biggest gain is for trucks that makes frequent stops, like garbage trucks and city buses.

    In Japan there have been hybrid diesel-electric heavy trucks on the roads for years.
