According to reports, Nissan is getting ready for their own hybrid system, finally. The Infinti M may have a hybrid option in 2010.
The rear-wheel drive hybrid will mate a 3.5 liter gas V6 to an electric motor in a parallel hybrid system. It may also come with a lithium-ion battery pack, which should make the electric motor more effective.
Nissan has been reluctant to research and build their own hybrid system, with their CEO noting he hates to lose money by selling cars. But they still brought a hybrid Altima to production by leasing the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive.
In 2010, they wanted to bring an Infiniti Hybrid to market because Nissan wants to add in the hybrid cost to a luxury vehicle. They also want the green credentials, not to mention any help in increasing the fuel economy of their fleet will also be welcome, with new regulations on the way.
