From a Mercedes web site:
An electric version of the Smart ForTwo will also be available.
"We have decided on hybridization on all of our
cars in the future and so far we have had a lot of questions and excitement, but I don’t know how that will translate into a take rate," Zetsche said at the Paris auto show.
Mercedes also will build 1,000 electric Smart ForTwo cars in the coming year for pre-production trials in Europe and possibly the United States. In 2012, annual production will rise to between 12,000 and 15,000 electric Smart cars, and some will be offered in the United States, Zetsche said.
