I remember this. Also haven't seen anything new about this project or the guy who did it. But anyway, considering its stock hybrid system was basically an assist instead of providing full-hybrid features, it gets me wondering if a BAS-Hybrid setup similar to what Suzuki is now applying to some Diesel-powered cars in India would achieve a similar effectiveness.
