"A special version of the fuel stingy Smart Fortwo was shown at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. It was called the Smart Fortwo Edition Micro Hybrid Drive. Like other Smart limited edition models, this exclusive MHD edition can be purchased now. However, as with the other Smart drive variants and limited edition Smart models it is not for sale in the United States. "
Why is this NOT AVAILABLE to U.S. buyers? Our smart government policies? Or Smart smart marketing plan?
In a discussion I had with Dave Schembri he said the increase in fuel mileage was about 8% but when compared to the increase in the cost of the car $2000 it did not make sense. I would agree.
As explained before, main Target for MHD is reduction of CO2 emission.
It is the big challenge in Europe.
Some german cities, for example, are examining if they will not close their downtown to all vehicules above a certain limit (less than 80/90).
In London there is also such research....
Effective mhd bring a little improvemant in consumption, but it is not its main purpose.
