The improved Hybrid System will be three times more powerful than the system currently available on the Saturn VUE, the Saturn Aura, and the Chevy Malibu. The improved system will be available in 2010. The system remains a belt alternator starter hybrid. This type of hybrid is costs much less than other full hybrid systems. The second generation system will use a lithium ion battery, which is lighter and more powerful than the battery used today. Annual volume is planned to exceed 100,000, which will bring costs down. Fuel savings can be up to 20 percent.
