Another way of storing energy for hybrid vehicles. This time: pressurised fluids.

In the future, some hybrids won’t use batteries and won’t look like almonds.

Several companies are developing hydraulic hybrid drivetrains that bring the benefits of hybrids to heavy-duty vehicles like buses. The technology, which uses pressurized fluid instead of electricity to turn the wheels, promises significant fuel savings at lower cost than traditional hybrids.
