Daihatsu Will Release Hybrid Hijet Next Summer October 2004

Daihatsu Motor has begun the development of a hybrid electric vehicle based on its 659cc Hijet Cargo micro-truck and could bring it to market as early as summer 2005. Daihatsu has been monitoring the use of the new hybrid electric vehicle in collaboration with government offices and several companies since October 2002. Having collected a mass of real-world data, it has developed a model tailored to the needs of micro-CV users. It says the focus in the months ahead will be on refining the basic design and bringing down manufacturing costs. Production is scheduled to begin this December at the automaker's Nakatsu plant in Oita Prefecture. SOURCE: AutoAsia
