Jim Press: Chrysler developing plug-in hybrids

dav305z · 09-03-2008, 10:35 AM

Building an alternative fuel vehicle seems to be a new requirement for being taken seriously in today’s auto industry, so it is little surprise that Chrysler is now touting its own plug-in hybrid development.

not much meat to that story... but it sounds like they are definitely not as far along as GM.

Not just plug in hybrids, but perhaps actual electric vehicles like the Volt. I'd be suprised if an automaker wasn't working on such a car.

Awww Chrysler is cute. They wanna play too. Forget building, oh I don't know, a small car, for example...

They are in a desperate situation, they can't play catch-up, they can only survive by escaping ahead. Otherwise in a few years they wouldn't be much better off in a few years from now.

That is, if they are actually developing anything. I still doubt Chrysler actually does some substantial development, I'll believe it when I see the actual effects (not concept cars).
