In my concept hydraulic hybrid, the basic vehicle is a non hybrid until the accumulator is added to the system which allows for energy demand leveling and power to be available from two sources, either directly from the engine, or directly from the accumulator with or without mutual contribution. Regenerative braking can be attributed to the original power source (fuel) be it electricity or other fuel types, separately or in combination.
It just seems to me like the tail wagging the dog to argue about whether a vehicle is a hybrid or not a hybrid, when the real concern should be it's overall efficiency, but then some people like to argue for the sake of an argument.
I have had some customers like that who debated and debated the potential solutions to a problem, while I just fixed the d#$% thing.
