The firm revealed that production of its first vehicles of this type could be available by 2011.
These will be the Infiniti M35 saloons, the first hybrid cars from the company in its 20-year history.
According to the firm, these will feature the luxury performance of its existing range, but will be the most economical cars that it has ever produced.
The new vehicle will come with a 3.5-litre V6 engine, rear-wheel drive handling and Infiniti’s own hybrid system, which features a single electric motor/twin clutch arrangement.
In addition, the new car will run on laminated a lithium ion battery pack, which provide twice the power offered by regular battery packs.
Last month, Volvo revealed details for its plug-in diesel car.
The manufacturer announced that the vehicle will be able to cover 31 miles on battery power alone, with drivers then able to switch to its engine to give them a range of 745 miles.
