Well, I should have been more specific. The context was consumer vehicles, and 5,000 lb SUVs and pickups do not attract the crowd that buys ULEVs. It's oxymoronic because those folks see the notion of creating a huge, heavy vehicle to (usually) transport one person as wasteful.
The car companies recognize this, since they are only hybridizing thier compact SUVs and smallest cars at the moment.
Hydrogen and electric power scale up quite nicely in combination with IC engines, and will probably have lots of market success in larger commercial vehicles.Hybrid buses area slam dunk, for instance.
