2013 Ford Heavy Duty Hybrid?

Afternoon,
I picked up the latest Truck Trend and they had an article on Ford introducing a plug-in hybrid in their 2013 - F350, F450 and F550 models. Anyone know of any links about this?
I wonder when the info will be passed on to the dealerships?
Thanks,
Chris

Believe it when I see it

Thanks for the link. Not a meaningful article in Truck Trend after reading Reuters. The handshake between Ford and Toyota is probably part of the process to secure ongoing Gov't funding. Would a hybrid make any substantial contribution handling 4x4 work and towing demands, let alone our temperature swings? I can't imagine the battery sizes, or charging demands.
I guess every advancement starts with the first step. I won't delay my purchase based on the Truck Trend story.

Chris
