Dai Henwood and the Spaceship

In these green friendly times, there really is nothing trendier than a hybrid. So Sunrise’s gadget guy Dai Henwood is road testing a custom-fitted Previa hybrid.

It is not exactly your run of the mill hybrid car. This is the spaceship campervan which combines a small petrol motor with a large electric motor and batteries for alternative power.

And it is quiet.

Ummmm, it says Previa, Alien. You can live in the back of those things and this one has a fridge and burner and tv and stuff.

Might not be a huge camper-truck thingee but still looks like a few happy campers would fit inside.
