F30 3 Series Hybrid Goes Track Testing
BIMMERPOST NEWS F30 3 Series Hybrid Hits The Track We last spied the F30 hybrid back in February for the first time out in heavy camouflage. It has now shed its heavy camouflage and taken to the Nurburgring for track testing. One can tell this is a hybrid version by the typical "Rescue" stickers on its doors and rear bumper (which is always present BMW's hybrid test vehicles). The F30 3-series will be the first 3-series hybrid from BMW and will adopt much of the technology from the upcoming hybrid F10 5-series which is scheduled to debut this winter. The F30 hybrid will be released some time after the diesel and petrol F30 models are released next year. To give you an idea of the technology we may see in the F30 hybrid (although it will be improved upon), here's a description of the F10 Activehybrid: Quote:

I hope this hybrid is not the Active Hybrid 7 kind of hybrid. Nor Prius. Those kind of hybrids are totally not green.
If BMW can use i8 kinda hybrid (not a single huge battery), then I might like this idea. |

OK...I get it now.... when the car is not clearly marked as a Hybrid... as in containing a large battery or series of smaller bateries...
Fire and police first responders need to identify a vehicle rapidly to "lock down" the car and deal with special precautions as its more than just gasoline.. these cars, debadged, need some quick way to identify hazards to emergency personnel
