I believe this guy is using a modified version of net gains hybrid system. There is an electric motor directly after the transmission and connected to the differential through a shortened drive shaft. Instead of using this as only a mild hybrid, he added more batteries and a separate accelerator lever on the gear shifter to control the electric motor by itself. I think he said he can cruise at like 45mph in neutral, its been a while since I saw that video though.
