The utility is participating in a national consortium that recently was awarded a federal stimulus grant to purchase plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and the company is buying more trucks to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) as well. The matching stimulus grant will provide up to $2.5
million grant to develop a fully integrated, production plug-in hybrid system for Class 2 – 5 vehicles (8,501 – 19,500 lbs gross vehicle weight), and the accompanying demonstration of a fleet of 378 plug-in hybrid trucks and shuttle buses. This will represent the largest deployment of commercial PHEVs to date. Earlier post.)

In addition to the private capital, A123 is seeking funds under federal and state stimulus and other programs to ramp up its production capabilities in Michigan. Chrysler is also partnering with GE to demonstrate an economically viable OEM-integrated dual-battery PHEV technology within the next 3-5 years. Earlier post.) Earlier post.)
Schemes in France, Ireland and Germany were reduced during the year, especially for plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). PHEV sales are only forecast to grow by 2.9%. This is due to the rollout of new plug-ins, lower prices, and lower EU CO 2 emission targets. This represented a 20.5% market share, compared to 21.3%
“Contributing to the short-term over-capacity issue is that manufacturers rushed to build out capacity ahead of demand to (a) capture stimulus funding and (b) try to drive scale to reduce cost. Commenting on recent reports of Li-ion overcapacity (e.g.
