Lamborghini seemed awfully keen to make an all-electric supercar a few years ago, when it revealed the gorgeous Lanzador concept. But as it turns out, the celebrated Italian marque secretly axed the project late last year, opting to stick to PHEVs.

Horse Powertrain is looking into the future, showing an early concept version of a next-generation hybrid engine system powered by 100% renewable fuel. It says the prototype can boost fuel economy by 40% while slashing literal tons of CO2 emissions.

Volkswagen is giving UK conversion companies a shortcut for creating new campers. Its Multivan Camper comes with a pop-up roof, an available plug-in hybrid, a cockpit, a few other basics and a whole lot of nothing else.

The PHEV powertrain is a natural solution for motorhomes, but it could be an equally viable solution for trailers. Evotrex makes that case with the PG5 travel trailer, a livable power plant that develops its own electricity for camp life and travel.

A report out of Europe throws serious shade at plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) cars, pointing out that they emit nearly as much carbon dioxide emissions as gas-powered vehicles. So much for greener motoring.

The Jeep Wrangler has always been the SUV equivalent of a pair of hiking boots: loud, clunky, and uncomfortable on the sidewalk The 2025 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe adds an electric motor to the mix, which has some surprising benefits.

Horse Powertrain continues to push the next generation of plug-and-play hybrid solutions. Sized "no larger than a briefcase," the new C15 engine-generator is designed to slide into all-electric vehicles for an immediate high-efficiency range boost.

Transport produces 28% of the greenhouse gas released in the US, and nearly a quarter of that comes from heavy vehicles – more than from passenger cars. Revoy attacks the problem with a smart dolly that creates a hybrid semi truck with two heads.

VW's first-ever plug-in hybrid camper van went on sale in Continental Europe last fall and is now making its way to the UK. The new California ran behind the Ford Nugget in getting a clean, quiet electrified powertrain option, but now surges ahead.

The Lamborghini Huracan finally has a successor, and boy, is it a good one! Called the Temerario, which translates to “reckless” in English, it's a plug-in hybrid marking the evolution of the raging bull. Safe to say, the car has big shoes to fill.

Horse Powertrain looks to lend a hand to automakers expanding their hybrid offerings with an axle drive it calls the Future Hybrid Concept. The setup blends battery and fuel power into a single drive unit that transforms a BEV into a flexible hybrid.
