GM's advanced 2-mode hybrid system conserves energy by using an electrically variable transmission, a 300 volt storage system and a 332 hp 6.0L Vortec V-8 engine with Active Fuel Management. The Hybrid is able to accelerate using only the electric motor, unlike other large hybrid vehicles. The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery includes an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty. Efficiency is also aided by a liftgate and hood made of aluminum, improved aerodynamics, lower resistance tires, and a 0.4-inch lower ride height.For 2008, The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is new.
