PSA Peugeot Citroen planning 2011 launch for first diesel-hybrid

PSA Peugeot Citroen plans to enter the hybrid market in Europe in coming years with new diesel hybrid technology, but the current economic downturn is starting to take its toll on the French carmaker and could see further development of the efficient powertrains delayed. The technology has already been previewed in a number of concept cars, including the recently revealed Prologue HYmotion4 AWD and a diesel hybrid Le Mans racer, but according to one PSA exec the first production versions are unlikely to be available until 2011 at the earliest.
