Business Week (BW) follows up with its story on the myths of hybrid vehicles with an
article about diesel engines. This time, BW interviews Al Bedwell, a senior manager with J.D. Power Forecasting based
in England.
BW and Bedwell cover a gamut of topics. Bedwell compares and contrasts the costs of hybrid
powertrains, how diesel engines already outsell hybrid vehicles in the U.S., and what the Japanese automakers are doing
with their own diesel engine development.
He also speculates how the U.S. consumers and automakers will
react as diesel is seen increasingly as an alternative source to gasoline along with hybrid powertrains.
