Even with (partial) electric drive - though obviously with more batteries you could lower the diesel consumption.
With 2 power sources, you're always carrying one too many - and the associated weight of the system, here combined with the added drag of the quattro drive.
Still : good luck with the project !

I did a test with this truck which was to drive 200km with nothing in the truck other than me and my girlfriend, then I filled the tank again and drove another 200Km with 300kg in the back. Same road, same type of hills, same wind direction (as much as possible) and had the same fuel economy. It would seem that the outdoor temp has more to do with the economy as the weight so I think that the weight of batteries and motors won't be a major factor. The drag from the tranny may be a different story but we will have to see.....stay tuned.
