Bingo! Despite the mileage claims hybrid's are actually far more environmentally damaging than standard petrol and diesel vehicle simply due to the battery fabrication and disposal processes. Hybrid's are only a real presence in North American, the rest of the world continues on with diesel like it always has. This continent's aversion to diesel always confuses/disappoints me
