A turbodiesel plugin-hybrid concpt car from VW, the Golf Twin Drive has electric and diesel power, travels up to 30 miles on electric power, uses regenerative breaking to recharge the battery, and uses no power when stopped. The bad news? There are no plans to develop this car for the US market, though a fleet will be ready forthe German government in 2010. Let's try to get these cars to the US and elsewhere!
