I'm not sure it could be described as a reduced emissions vehicle though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEWYJSW0OtA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Frailwayeye%2Eblogspot%2Ecom%2F2009%2F09%2Ffirst%2Dfor%2Dcutting%2Dcarbon%2Demissions%2Ehtml&feature=player_embedded Title: Re: New type of hybrid tested by First Group Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on September 06, 2009, 20:59:32 ohh dear lol

seen similar on 158's in the past catastrophic failure of turbo would be my guess similar to the old paxman turbo blowers Title: Re: New type of hybrid tested by First Group Post by: Btline on September 11, 2009, 21:13:45 I have heard that those units drink fuel!
