The turbine shown in the video is a Capstone unit. It will be interesting to hear more about the battery pack and the electric drivetrain.
Edit: someone on CleanMPG found some more information:

Powering this technological tour-de-force is a Capstone Turbine engine coupled to an electrical powertrain. ... Their light weight, small size, and quick starting time make them ideal as "instant-on" backup power to recharge the main batteries. An example of a hybrid vehicle is the Capstone CTM-380, with a 30 kW gas turbine generator running on diesel, that recharges Li-Poly batteries when necessary. The CMT-380 has a proposed range of 80 miles on battery alone, but when combined with the micro turbine that range is pushed to over 500+ miles.
