Yo’s CNG Hybrid Crossover Tech (w/ video)

We've been covering Russia's YoMobile CNG-electric hybrids for a few years now, and have watched the cars go from glorified napkin-sketches to "improbable" concepts to running prototypes, and – finally – to sold-out success tory.

Yo Auto isn't just sitting back and collecting deposits, though. The company recently announced plans to build a larger, "crossover" vehicle (read: SUV) that would offer Russian motorists a bit more utility than the (surprisngly?) attractive YoAuto Coupe, as well as an an innovative all-wheel-drive system that combines hybrid "buzzword" technologies like regenerative braking and start-stop technology with range-extending, alternative-fuel powerplants that can burn compressed natural gas or bio diesel.

The new Yo eCrossover (as it's being called) would also feature an OnStar-style vehicle communications system that keeps the Yo in constant contact with dealers and service stations in case your Yo is ever stranded, broken down, or in need of service.
