Honda has already started the ‘green revolution’ in the Indian auto industry by rolling out the Civic hybrid and Toyota will soon follow the lead by introducing the hybrid version of the Prius to India. And now it is the turn of another major car manufacturer, the Hyundai, to join the revolution.
The Hyundai is working on to develop its own hybrid technology and once completed the technology will mated with the small car in India. As per their strategy, they expect to roll out a gasoline-electric hybrid version of its sedans by 2010, which will be later implement in larger hybrid vehicles.
But before all this, the company will launch the world’s first hybrid vehicle (Avante) to be powered by LPG and will be the first to adopt advanced lithium polymer batteries.
Hope they also plan to roll out similar vehicles (Avante LPG hybrid) in India.

So many car makers set to launch Hybrid cars. This is a good alternative for the rising fuel prices. I think Honda Civic is the only hybrid car in India. And it has gained so much popularity for this new car. Hope to see more hybrid cars in India.
Hyundai goes green...Hybrids and small cars are the talk of the town. With inflation and pollution reaching its zenith, alternatives are always welcome. This small hybrid cars can be seen rolling on the roads, by 2010. May be after that these can be seen in India too...Its for sure, a more tough and serious competition is going to happen in this industry.
