Hybrid transmission change expected to boost efficiency 25%
"Chrysler provided a sneak peek into the future of large SUVs during a media preview of its 2008 lineup at its Chelsea proving grounds. Journalists were given an opportunity to drive a Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and a Dodge Durango Hybrid, both powered by a two-mode hybrid system the company is developing in conjunction with General Motors and BMW.
The two test vehicles are actually three generations removed from production models, the earliest the automaker has ever exposed a future product to media scrutiny. Its confidence in the system, which bubbled out from everyone I talked with who is involved with the project, is no doubt a key factor in the early release."
