German automobile makers have not fully jumped on the hybrid bandwagon like the US and Japanese automakers. The Germans have had a lot of success with their clean diesel-powered automobiles and have made great strides in making these vehicles super efficient and green. Volkswagen has been no different. The German car maker has a great lineup of TDI diesel cars and not a single hybrid vehicle, until now.
Today, Volkswagen head of product development, Ulrich Hackenberg announced something that is a big shift for the company. Hackenberg announced that Volkswagen will be introducing hybrid versions of all it’s upcoming new models with the option of full and partial hybrid engines.
With this announcement, Volkswagen becomes a leader in green vehicles with a rich array of diesel and hybrid vehicles.
