Hyundai Readying Korea's First Hybrid
[Hybrid] [combustion engines] [electric] [rechargeable] [fuel] [Motor]
The ministry, which has injected 39.3 billion won ($37.7 million) into the research and development of hybrid electric vehicles since 2003, said the new cars, whose combustion engines run on liquefied petroleum gas, can save up to 35% on fuel compared with cars with ordinary engines. ... Authorities in Seoul took a step toward that goal Monday, saying that the first South Korean hybrid electric car, developed by Hyundai Motor, will be sold in the country next year, a move aimed to pre-empt General Motors, as well as Mitsubishi Motor and other Japanese rivals, in producing fuel-efficient model...
