Maybe gas turbine engine and piston engine in one vehicle. On the other hand a turbocharged engine only runs on one fuel, which kind of defeats the purpose of having two types propulsion on one vehicle.

Either that or "it burns diesel and rubber."

I would tell people that my Leaf was a hybrid; that it was 50% electric powered and 50% push powered.
