No (I think), unless your are just talking about hybrid vehicles which have been in use for a very long time. You are proposing a vehicle with redundant drive systems and two primary sources of fuel. This only makes sense in very specialized cases where some odd sort of asymmetrical failure mode is worth the extra complexity and weight.
The only reason these exist on the market today in the form of Plug-in Hybrids is that power generation in a hybrid vehicle requires some intermediary storage to be effective. Manufacturers can add a plug and allow the vehicle to run directly off the intermediary storage for a very short distance (usually less than the distance provided by single gallon of fuel), however as far as I know this is basically done as a form of greenwashing. Given the ranges allowed, you might as well ride your bicycle.
