Chrysler will offer full hybrid lineup
When Chrysler rolled out its trio of hybrid concepts (ZEO, EcoVoyager, Renegade) at last month’s Detroit Auto Show, no one envisaged it would be a sign the carmaker was serious about offering a full hybrid lineup one day. Latest comments from Chrysler’s new President Jim Press reaffirm the carmaker’s desire to make every model available with a hybrid option, which also sounds remarkably similar to claims from Press’ former employer Toyota.

Speaking at a recent seminar, Jim Press said that eventually every vehicle Chrysler makes would be hybrid-powered. He wasn’t willing to give a timeline but revealed the new CAFE laws, forcing carmakers to lift fleetwide fuel economy levels to 35mpg by 2020, would be easier to meet with more fuel-saving hybrid models.

At least they're trying something new...
They have to shake things up over there if they want to be in a position to keep up with their competitors. GM's stepping it up, so why bot Chrysler? They need to come out with some solid designs if they want to survive in the future. If this works for them so be it.

Unbelievable, the American companies have TRULY gone blind and not knowing their problems. Introducing hybrid technology will solve NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING. Its the ugly designs, bad quality, bad reliability that need to be cared for and not hybrid or what ever crap they keep coming up with.

Good way for Chrysler to differentiate themselves from the Big 2. But if it takes them too long to ramp it up, Ford and GM will just pass them by.
