New Chrysler head honcho Jim Press says alternative-fuel versions of every Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep model will eventually find their way to dealer lots. The former Toyota man isn’t giving a time frame for all these earth-friendly mobiles to go into production, but he does list potential drivetrains, including diesels, plug-in hybrids, diesel hybrids, fuel-cell hybrids and standard gasoline hybrids. Not mentioned is ethanol or other biofuels, but we’re not sure if that’s an oversight by the original author of the story, or by Press himself, or if the company simply isn’t considering them at all.
Last month, Chrysler launched a new division called Envi — short for environment — to help speed up implementation of new green vehicles for the company.
