Hino Motors Ltd, a truck-maker 50 percent owned by Toyota Motor Corp, said it plans to fit its Dutro hybrid trucks with the same batteries Toyota is using to cut costs. Tokyo-based Hino will equip the 2-tonnes Dutro with Panasonic EV Energy Co batteries, which Toyota uses for gasoline-electric hybrids such as the Prius, according to Hino spokesman Kenichi Ohno. Hino was the first Japanese truckmaker to release hybrid buses and trucks in 1991 and has sold about 280 in Japan so far, he said. Automakers are investing billions of dollars to develop autos that meet stricter environmental rules. Toyota, the first automaker to sell a hybrid car, wants to spread out the cost of developing hybrid engines and transform them from a niche product into a global standard.

>I got a room for 4 shares of ENER, while it would have cost me 10 shares to stay at the Amerisuites.< This peasant got lucky -- a good package deal for airline/hotel/auto was quite a bit cheaper than purchasing those individual items with Red Roof Inn as the hotel choice. And, the Red Roof Inn did not have a package deal. Your valuing of things in terms of shares of ENER reminds me of my destitute college days -- evaluating things in terms of 6-packs. Re ENER, I think you may possibly have saved $6,000 -- if you have the patience of Job. Mountain Jack's, at least, will be making a profit off of Stan and Company. I'm supposed to meet there with a few friends, and I'm sure you will be most welcome to join us. I don't know the time yet, but I expect people will probably drift into the bar early to begin chatting. I expect to be there by 6 PM, maybe earlier, but it depends on the airline and the weather. I'm not sure how we will recognize each other -- would you mind wearing one red shoe? I'm, tall, grey-haired and bearded, and wear glasses with thin black rims. And, I'll probably be wearing a dark suite -- possibly a once-a-year-event.
