Now that some hybrids actually feature automatic transmissions with a small amount of gears, such as a 2-speed one fitted to some GWM Haval SUVs, I'd take a total elimination of the gearbox on hybrids with a grain of salt. Not to mention medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks with dual-range differentials...
