Originally, the Accent hybrid was set to launch in late 2006; however, due to currency issues, Hyundai has pushed back the development of their hybrid cars until 2009 - at the earliest.
Not much has been released about Hyundai's hybrid technology.
Hyundai hybrids will be built on proprietary hybrid technology, unlike the Ford Escape or Nissan Altima hybrids, which are built with licensed Toyota hybrid technology.
