Raser and FEV announce new plug-in hybrid demo vehicle
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Hybrid
Two companies we don't much notice here on AutoblogGreen, Raser Technologies and FEV Engine Technology, have announced a plan to develop a plug-in hybrid demonstration vehicle. While the key "100 mpg" target is highlighted in the press release, the type of vehicle (make, model, or even broad vehicle category) is left unmemtioned. Perhaps they haven't decided on whether this is going to be an SUV or a modified Prius, but a little more detail would be nice. What we do know is that the vehicle will use a Raser Symetron electric motor. That's about all we know, and explains why we need to use the Raser logo as the image for this post instead something more illustrative.

Chances are, they're either just announouncing they are partnering on a market development project at all (details TBD) or, they have a concrete R&D contract with a specific carmaker that wants to play its cards close to its chest for now.
Note: GM has the Chevy Volt, Ford the Volvo ReCharge and Chrysler ... zipp-o on the PHEV front.
