"It's self-contained and small enough to fit under the trunk floor, weighing just 132 pounds to a battery hybrid system's roughly 660 pounds."[quote]
I know which system i prefer, kers is a winner on weight! I wonder how long before this technology is released, what application first (performance initially?) & will the unit be serviceable? It will be interesting to see how many manufacturers bring this technology to market. cheers, Maka
