Chrysler to Present Hybrid Van Models

Chrysler Corp has set out to test 4 Hybrid models one of which will be the popular Town & Country model. 

The WindsorStar writes:

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.

RAM To Produce Natural Gas Pickups

Chrysler corp is expanding its horizon in the alternative fuel category offering it's first civilian Natural Gas RAM Pickup. The new RAM will reach 255 miles on Natural gas before switching over to a 112 mile 8-Gallon gasoline tank. 

Wall Street Journal writes:

The interest in natural-gas vehicles comes as gasoline prices are on the rise again and support for using domestic natural gas to replace oil is gaining support. After years of promoting electric cars, President Obama signaled a change in the administration when he said during his January State of the Union speech the nation needs to explore all alternative energy sources.

"We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years," Mr. Obama said in his speech. "My administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy. Experts believe this will support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade."
