hydraulic hybrid,
sound kinda fishy to me. basically they are putting accumulators on the transmission and then charging them when flow is not needed then using the charge when the demand is needed. or they are going to use a whole new power train. anyway, i work on hydraulics everyday and when there are problems it gets very expensive and time consuming to fix.

From the last article....
"The vehicle that was displayed is a hydraulic hybrid, reported to achieve a 55 percent improvement in fuel economy. This hydraulic hybrid technology is projected to increase the cost of a large SUV by about $600 which would be quickly recouped by the consumer's lower fuel and maintenance costs. Another 30-40% improvement is available through the conversion of the gasoline engine to a diesel engine.
"
I think you'll see closer to 30mpg, not 60. I guess we'll see.
