The Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept celebrates
the romance of automobile travel embodied in a four-door, four-passenger
distinctively American design. Designed for customers seeking elegance,
simplicity and serenity, the elegant one-box design takes advantage of
space normally occupied by a conventional powertrain setup. The Chrysler
ecoVoyager features an advanced lithium-ion battery pack, along with a
small, advanced hydrogen fuel cell that serves as a range extender. The
result is a vehicle with a total range of more than 300 miles that emits no
emissions from the tailpipe except water vapor.

“eco-friendly” vehicle with minimized use of materials –
designed for those who want to enjoy the earth while taking care of its
future. The propulsion system combines a 40-mile lithium-ion battery pack
and a small-displacement BLUETEC diesel engine. The result: fuel economy of
more than 110 miles per gallon.
