It also kind of makes sense to focus fuel savings on the vehicles that are the most thirsty. If you take all 30mpg compact and make them twice as fuel efficient you're not saving as much fuel than if you made all 15mpg trucks twice as fuel efficient.
I noticed this as well. Nobody cared about making a hybrid truck until they started forcing EV mandates on everybody then the manufacturers were like whoa now... hybrids are just fine. lol
Secondary news I hear toyota is working on a diesel hybrid. Even though technically they are the worst offenders in this category called mpgs.
(although i think they realize their customers would rather have reliability than mpgs)
