Chrysler Means Serious Eco Business
Posted in Automobiles, Car, Fuel on 26 September 2008

There is good news for all the Chrysler fans. The famous car brand has decided to present an electric version of its Voyager MPV to the world by 2010. Research is on and eco-lovers even got a peek of its looks at the Detroit Motor Show, yep this new eco-car will be based on the ecoVoyager concept.
Information is limited at the moment. But we do know that this zero-emission car will have range of 300 miles. A neat deal for an MPV that can accommodate the entire family plus the luggage!

As if this wasn’t enough. Chrysler is also working on a model that will be a good reply for rival Chevrolet’s Volt, which will be launched in 2012. A small gasoline engine in the Chrysler model will be busy topping up batteries when they drop below 40% charge.

Hybrid Is The Word On The Road

Cabs go green in NYC at the rate of 300 new hybrid cars very month. Mayor Micheal Bloomberg has got into an agreement with car-makers to supply only fuel-light cabs. The results are good. Firstly, the drivers are able to save about 6,500 dollars every year and the city stays green.
So, the Taxi and Limousine Commission has pulled up its socks and issued a notice to the taxi fleet to be hybrid by October 1. Cabs specially equipped for the handicapped were exempted. Nissan Motor has promises to supply 200 Altima hybrids while General Motors will contribute 50 Chevrolet Malibu hybrids, while Ford Motor Co gets 50 of its Escape hybrids ready for the road.
The demand for hybrid cars has been increasing with the soaring gasoline prices. The market is good and companies are willing to make a profit and make the earth green.
