But who drives a Ford Ranger exclusively in the city?
The problem with hydraulic hybrids is that you need strong (that is, heavy) pressure vessels to store energy, which means you can't store all that much. Which makes it a good match for anything that has frequent start/stop cycles, like garbage & delivery trucks, or the repetitive swinging of Cat's HH excavator, but not so great for general use.
