"The first Porsches, named after its Austrian makers, were built in Austria before the company moved to Germany in 1949.Ê Ferdinand Porsche had worked for Lohner, Austrian manufacturers of motorcars and later scooters, and developed a revolutionary electric car.Ê Because batteries were only suitable for short distances, Porsche also developed the first hybrid car using a gasoline engine that powered a generator which, in turn, electrically charged the motors residing within the wheel hubs.Ê Trucks using this system were successfully used in the mountains by the Austrian artillery." http://www.virtualvienna.net/colums/billie/automuseums.html > From: "Neoteric Biofuels Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 07:25:06 -0800 > To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [biofuel] Porsche hybrid electric truck > > I conjuction with all this discussion of 4x4 and in line with our other > interests, I came across a site that mentioned a hybrid electric truck with > wheel motors built by Ferdinand Porsche in Austria, I think around the turn > of the century.
