That link broke for me Tuckerfan, though this one seems to get to it.
The Beamer seams to be a IC engine and steam. Directly applying tractable power to the wheels instead of storing it.
IC engines and electric, the ‘common’ hybrid as we know it seems to work pretty well. The suggestion that I make, and Honda seems to be looking at, is a system that would use engine heat to charge batteries on a long trip. Or at all times. Put that waste heat to work.

Wel, BMWs doing the same thing, they’re just not charging hybrid batteries (not surprising, since BMW doesn’t build a hybrid).
