أنفينتي تقرر وضع خيار هايبرد لجميع سياراتها خلال عشر سنوات !!

All Infinitis will be hybrids within 10 years It’s easy to be mesmerized by the Infiniti Essence Concept’s striking good looks and completely overlook car’s the underlying technology. But the hybrid drivetrain is an important indicator of where Nissan’s luxury division is headed. At the Geneva Motor Show on Wednesday, a top company executive disclosed plans to convert the brand’s entire lineup to hybrid technology within ten years.


Francois Bancon, General Manager of Advanced Product Planning, told reporters Infiniti will reinvent itself over the next decade, beginning with a hybrid version of the new M-series sedan, according to Autocar. The new M is expected to be launched in September.

Mr. Bancon said the primary technology that will be used by Infiniti in the near term is the so-called series-parallel configuration, which combines characteristics of both series and parallel drivetrains. The “two-mode” technology enables the car to be powered by electricity alone or electricity and gas at the same time.

Initially, it’s Infiniti will offer both hybrid and regular gasoline versions of its cars, but Bancon’s remarks seem to suggest the company will stop offering gas-only vehicles somewhere within the ten-year timeframe.

Bancon did not indicate if or when Infiniti will transition to plug-in hybrid technology, but we’d be very surprised if the capability didn’t show up within the next few years. Although the new M won’t be a plug-in hybrid, we’re betting Infiniti’s second generation of hybrids will.
