Moerfelden, Germany  - Volkswagen-owned Seat is the latest manufacturer to announce plans for an eco-friendly, diesel-electric hybrid.

The Leon TwinDrive Ecomotive is based on the Spanish marque's Leon saloon and features the same powertrain as the recently unveiled prototype VW Golf TwinDrive which mates a 1.9-litre, 105 horsepower common rail diesel engine to a 35-kilowatt electric motor.
