    AFAIK The idea about running only liaisons on electricity was discussed and rejected before the tender was opened.

    Don't get me wrong but I don't believe an 80 kg system can work with batteries able to run the car over liaisons. In my opinion such low weight suggests that the system would rather use supercapacitors or flywheels to give reasonable boost on acceleration over short period of time.
