You don't really need all that kit for 60 mpg in a light(ish) 206 HDi.

I can get 60 mpg out of my heavier V50 1.6L "HDi" when the DPF regeneration isn't working against me.
The 1.4 HDi should do even better ...

At the end of the year the inventor said, that due to the fact that no one in Europe was interested in his invention, he is trying to introduce his invention in Asia.
I don't really see how it's going to work with merely a 400W motor.
That's a mere 0.54 HP.

(ECA Systems are using 8000W or close to 11 HP, which is around what you could actually drive a car with @ constant speed.)
