Toyota Hybrid

I think that is great news but 9,000 units a year for an entire nation seems to be very little. Demand has to be high and also the price because of it. But definetly a step in the right direction.

I Understand Honda already has one avilable in Thailand but with import taxes around two million baht.

These will have a 10%, tax Australia offered a better incentive for Toyota hope Thailand hasn't missed the boat on this one. It would seem that this is where the future in the auto industry needs to be.

Cruising on flattish terrain, there is no benefit having a hybrid. Consumptions have been exagerated as shown in independent road tests. In-car-produced hydrogen was patented by Garrett in USA in 1935, using electrolysis. You can today buy an add-on, to make hydrogen and feed it in thru the air intake. Consumption can decrease by 50% or more. Of course the Oily corrupt Govt, of USA anyway, has banned the sale of these except in kit form. Inventors who are brave enough to try to market any hydrogen generator or even concept usually meet with an untimely death. In Switzerland in the 70s a scientist had 300 trucks and tractors running on hydrogen, using a radio frequecy to break the water molecule. The corrupt govt of that time made him dismantle the lot. Please somebody explain to me how, in an age when color digital photos can be streamed back from Planet Mars, our brilliant engineers/scientists cannot efficiently split a water molecule. Hybrid is a smokescreen. Dont fall for their clever propaganda. If you want to economise, get a hydrogen kit. www.hydrogentap.com
