The technical design chief of this vehicle is one of my teachers since a few weeks. The design work of this car was done in The Netherlands.
The price difference is the main thing that holds it back at the moment. The Mitsubishi guy stated that with planned subsidies in various countries the prices would be more or less similar to the regular version. However how soon that can be realised depends on the speed of the governments.
I think the earliest adaptors of this technology will be companies that want to show their "green" image.. Time will tell, the technology is ripe for it. I am very interested how it works out and if fully electric will show to be the way into the future.
For the moment I am trying to specialise in these technologies (and CVT's) in my free time. Last months it has really grabbed me after a very long period of no interest at all. Offcourse as a Automotive Engineering student I have a lot of opportunities to see stuff, talk to the right people, go to exhibitions, congresses etc. for which I should really be grateful. This month for example I visited Mercedes, Bosch-VDT and Bosch-Rexroth, DTI, DAF Trucks, the ATCentre Congress..
