Controlled Power Technologies and Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium to unveil LC Super Hybrid at Geneva show; low-cost “micro-mild” demonstrator

Green Car Congress

The demonstrator further develops AVL’s efficient low carbon ELC concept ( earlier post ). liters/100 km (42 mpg US) fuel consumption achieved at lower cost than an equivalent diesel model. Despite the enhanced gasoline engine performance the vehicle achieves near diesel levels of fuel economy, but with lower production costs.
