CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-Sedo, the leading online marketplace for buying and selling domain names, today announced that it is brokering the sale of Hybrid.com, one of the most highly sought-after domain names in the automotive sector today. Hybrid.com will be featured on Sedo’s premium auction platform, GreatDomains.com, taking place December 4^th through the 11^th.

The hybrid vehicle market continues to grow even in a slow economy, and auto-industry forecaster J.D. Power & Associates expects hybrid vehicles to make up 4.6 percent of the total new vehicle market by 2010 when there will be as many as 65 hybrid models for sale in the U.S.

“Hybrid.com speaks directly to the future of the automobile industry,” said Elan Blutinger, the Washington D.C.-based owner of the domain name. “With the relevance of hybrid cars becoming more apparent each day, this domain has the potential to become a valuable business platform. Hybrid.com can host anything from a hybrid-related blog to the first exclusive hybrid automobile marketplace. The possibilities are endless.”

“Sedo continues to build on its outstanding track-record of offering the most sought- after domains in the industry,” said Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer and general counsel, Sedo. “Hybrid.com is one of those coveted mainstream names that rarely become available, and it definitely has the potential to be our next top-selling domain.”
