== Hybrid Campro engine ==
Recently, Proton and Lotus have announced their concept model of a [[Proton Gen-2]] powered by a hybrid powerplant that uses the Campro engine. The concept model will be revealed during the 2007 Geneva Motor Show from 8 ~ 18 March 2007 <ref name=gen2_hybrid> [http://news.windingroad.com/concept-cars/lotus-bringing-plug-n-play-hybrid-drivetrain-system-to-geneva/ Lotus Bringing Plug-N-Play Hybrid Drivetrain System To Geneva] Winding Road, 5 March 2007</ref><ref name=gen2_hybrid2> [http://paultan.org/archives/2007/03/07/proton-and-lotus-engineering-develop-proton-gen2-eve-hybrid-concept/ Proton and Lotus Engineering develop Proton Gen-2 EVE Hybrid Concept] paultan.org</ref>.
The hybrid powerplant system, which is known as EVE system (Efficient, Viable, Environmental) will be using the same S4PH engine as the one that powers the present gasoline version of the Gen-2, combined together with a 30 kW, 144V electric motor. The main purpose of the hybrid powerplant system is to provide a hybrid system that can be retrofitted to existing models, retaining the same powerplant and also eliminates the need to develop a completely different platform, like the [[Honda Civic Hybrid]].
