"BMW will unveil its new concept called Vision Efficient Dynamics and the German company is describing the car as 'its most innovative concept car ever'. The car is said to have a 'unique' powertrain, 'ground-breaking performance potential' and exo-skeletal style bodywork crafted from aerodynamic knowledge gained in Formula One.
The BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics has a range of 31 miles when driving only on electric mode. Combined with the three-cylinder diesel engine this extends to a total possible distance between fill-ups and charges of 431 miles. Using a conventional domestic power source at 220 volts would result in the vehicle being fully recharged after 2.5 hours. Access to a slightly more powerful 380-volt source sees the charge time drop to 44 minutes."
"Not wanting to be left out of the modern craze for all things electric, Mercedes will be showing a hybrid concept car that uses a small three-cylinder turbo petrol engine as well as an electric motor and batteries.

The difference between a regular Prius and the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the ‘plug-in’ capability. Toyota now wants people to focus on the electric side of the Hybrid Drive Synergy by launching a commuter which is purely electric and can solely manage with electric power for daily, shot-distance, commuting. Following the Frankfurt debut, 150 fleet vehicles will be shipped to a select number of people whilst an extensive field trail will begin in Europe next year."
We’ve just finished discussing that the Toyota Camp at Frankfurt will be the place to be for it will debut to couple of impressive full Hybrid cars. The first one to be at the contingent will be the Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept which will be company’s first mainstream car deployed with full hybrid technology. Just for the record, full hybrid technology means that the commuter will be able to solely function on the electric engine or the combustion engine or a combination of both. There are not many details available about the electric commuter but what we are speculating is that the Auris too will be good enough to run short distances daily on the electric power for that is what HSD technology implies."
