RailPower, the guys with the Green Goat, are in the stages of planning a road hybrid. It will be interesting to see if the same savings can be accrued as the yard version. <br /> <br />I believe the turbine concept today relies on either a turbine array, and/or incorporate the hybrid concept. <br /> <br />Rather than using batteries, the technology for using supercapacitors for energy storage is almost available commercially, and supercapacitors have a much greater energy storage per square foot than batteries. This could be that giant technological leap forward for hybrid locomotives that will make all other locomotive designs (diesel, electric, turbine) obsolete for high speed capability.
