U.S. company reveals hybrid car plans

The AFS Trinity Power Corp. of Seattle filed a patent application Thursday disclosing the company’s new technology for its Extreme Hybrid car.

The company says the automobile will run more than 250 miles on a single gallon of gasoline or ethanol. In addition, it will plug into a house’s electrical current overnight to run without gasoline or ethanol for 40 miles — the average daily U.S. commute.

AFS Trinity says with sufficient funding the car could be licensed for mass production by car makers within three years
