    Sadly, it is only a truck so far.

    But the good news is this is (as far as I can see) the first stage of Mitsubishi getting their advanced lithium-ion technology onto the roads in the hands of the general public. Maybe these guys really can deliver on their recent lithium promises for mainstream EVs....?

    And also in the Toyota Yaris (Vitz) stop-start model, and Nissan Altra EV, but this is the first combination of LiIon and diesel in a hybrid that I'm aware of (apart from in trains).
