An assessment of the potential of hybrid vehicles as a replacement of the conventional gasoline or diesel fueled internal combusition engine (ICE) vehicle within the next 20 to 30 years is made. In particular, it was determined that there are hybrid vehicle designs and applications which are technically and economically viable and offer reductions in petroleum usage large enough to warrant major expenditures of R and D funds. Critical technical areas where R and D can be most usefully concentrated are identified. (ERA citation 05:019095)
