Chrysler is investing $15.8 million into the project and the U.S. Department of Energy is contributing $10 million.
Only 25 test vehicles will be created, according to Abdullah A. Bazzi, senior manager of electrified powertrain programs for Chrysler Group.
"This Town and Country minivan is the only minivan to boast a plug-in hybrid powertrain in combination with flex fuel capability," Bazzi said. "We're pleased to have four of these 25 vehicles being tested right here in Chrysler's backyard where they can get real-world use and be evaluated promptly."
Auburn Hills will use the Chrysler-owned vehicles for testing purposes to evaluate everyday city and highway driving. Staff selected to evaluate the vehicles will regularly report all driving and charging experiences back to Chrysler.
