Toyota bought an 5.9 percent stake in Isuzu with plans on expanding their relationship. Toyota has been the leader in hybrid technology, while Isuzu has made itself known for diesels. Now, Toyota wants to bring the two together.

According to a story out of Edmunds: Inside Line: the partners are looking to emphasize each of their strengths. Isuzu will concentrate on diesel engine production and emissions-control technologies, while Toyota wil concentrate on ""environmental technologies, including basic engine and other technologies and other technologies related to alternative fuels."

In other words, they are looking to put hybrids into diesels sometime in the future.
