Video: Homebuilt Hybrid Pickup truck

Hey everyone, here is the YouTube of a pickup truck converted to a hybrid.

It was one of three videos chosen to be shown at the Washington DC Plug-in Future conference not to long ago. (My motorcycle video was another one of the three videos.)

This truck looks pretty interesting and is very similar to how I would imagine doing a hybrid. It uses the same brand controller and batteries as I have on my cycle.



I also like how he has an e-meter and a Scangauge built directly into the dash.

Wish the video explained what he was using for a transmission and where/how the electric motor is attached.
