Suzuki Swift Plug-in Hybrid

Small car specialist Suzuki is yet to sell a hybrid, but when it does it will probably look like its Swift Plug-in Hybrid concept, which combines a motor, battery, and engine-powered generator and, Suzuki says, is designed to be primarily driven on electric power. For the short distances, it is powered by a battery that's charged from a household mains socket. When the battery runs low, a 660cc engine powers a generator that charges the battery.
