Chrysler LLC has announced it is well into the development of advanced, production-intent electric vehicles,
and will apply electric-drive technology to its front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and body-on-frame four-wheel
drive platforms in the next several years.

Chrysler will select one electric-drive model for each of its brands – Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge – to be produced
in 2010 for consumers in North American markets, and European markets after 2010.

At its World Headquarters in Detroit, Chrysler revealed its electric-drive prototypes – Dodge EV, Jeep EV and
Chrysler EV – and demonstrated the driving performance and capability of each.

“We have a social responsibility to our consumers to deliver environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, advanced
electric vehicles, and our intention is to meet that responsibility quickly and more broadly than any other
automobile manufacturer,” said Bob Nardelli, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler LLC.
|
|
“The introduction of the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge electric vehicles provides a glimpse of the very near future,
and demonstrates that we are serious and well along in the development of bringing electric vehicles to market.”
