Chrysler Concept Vehicles Highlight Alternative Fuels
2nd December, 2007 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chrysler has released a sneak preview of the Chrysler ecoVoyager, Dodge Zeo and Jeep® Renegade concept vehicles, which will be shown at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show. Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept The Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept celebrates the romance of automobile travel embodied in a four-door, four-passenger distinctively American design. Designed for customers seeking elegance, simplicity and serenity, the elegant one-box design takes advantage of space normally occupied by a conventional powertrain set-up. The Chrysler ecoVoyager features an advanced lithium-ion battery pack, along with a small, advanced hydrogen fuel cell that serves as a range extender. The result is a vehicle with a total range of more than 300 miles that emits no emissions from the tailpipe except water vapour.
Dodge Zeo Concept The Dodge Zeo Concept is a four-passenger, 2+2 sport wagon that embraces the bold, expressive look of the Dodge brand, exhibiting a new, youthful breed of muscle car for the 21st century. Built for driving enthusiasts, it features an electric-only propulsion system with a lithium-ion battery pack capable of at least 250 miles. Unlike other such vehicles, the Dodge Zeo Concept is a four-door, four-passenger model that delivers function as well as environmental responsibility.
Jeep Renegade Concept The Jeep Renegade Concept is a sporty B-segment-sized two-seater ideally suited for the all-weather delights of off-roading and dune 'surfing'. Featuring a cut-down speedster windshield, a roll bar, openings in the door lowers and a hose-out interior, it is an “eco-friendly” vehicle with minimised use of materials – designed for those who want to enjoy the earth while taking care of its future. The propulsion system combines a 40-mile lithium-ion battery pack and a small-displacement BLUETEC diesel engine. The result: fuel economy of more than 110 miles per gallon.
The 2008 Detroit Motor Show is on next month at Cobo Hall in Detroit. |
