The hybrid concept is at the center of a plethora of solutions and is currently being developed in a large number of directions, as seen in the variety of solutions presented at Challenge Bibendum 2006: the Toyota Prius, the Lexus RX400h and GS450h, and the Honda Civic. Micro-hybrids, like the vehicles presented by Valeo, the Citroën C2 and the Ford Fiesta, Diesel hybrids like the Peugeot 307 HDi, the Citroën C4 HDi, the Smart CDi... Lastly, the Toyota Prius conversions that run on natural gas or LPG with liquid injection showed that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions to less than 100 grams per 100 kms."
