Researchers at MIT are proposing plug-in hybrid vehicles for long-distance heavy transport. The truck would be primarily powered by batteries, but a non-diesel spark-ignition engine would extend range to that of today’s vehicles, according to MIT, avoiding the 10 to 15 tonnes of batteries required in an all-electric truck. The engine would be ‘flex-fuel’, able ...
