Do you know if they use a conventional starter? As I understand one of
the
barriers to using a diesel was starting the engine, the noise and
vibration,
or power loss because of high compression.

The other being that a disel doesn't suffer from the same fuel
inefficiency on partly open throttle as a petrol engine. Hence the only
advantage with a disel hybrid is being able to make some use of
regenerative braking.

And being able to shut it off, of course.
