Why is no one producing a car similar to a diesel electric locomotive? The reliability and fuel economy of such a setup would be incredible especially if dynamic braking could be implemented. If you look at some of the data on what a diesel electric train can haul per fuel consumed it puts it at the top of the fuel economy.
After a little research looks like VW has a diesel-electric concept vehicle the XL-1 that gets a impressive 26l MPG.
