This is how Greg Howell, the project’s main designer, describes the Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept, presented at Detroit: “The 2008 Chrysler ecoVoyager concept vehicle celebrates the romance of automobile travel embodied in a four-door, four-passenger, distinctively American automobile of spirited design. While the ecoVoyager’s supple, flowing one-box shape is purposely designed to achieve aerodynamic efficiencies, it also pushes the Chrysler brand language in a new direction of ‘elegant simplicity,’ by taking full advantage of the space normally occupied by a bulky conventional powertrain setup to drastically reduce the front overhang.”. Sounds pretty fancy.
The ecoVoyager features an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack capable of running about 40 miles ona single charge. The electric motor develops 200 kilowatts (268 horsepower) and allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (100km/h) in less than 8 seconds. The car is also fitted with a small, advanced hydrogen fuel cell which extends the vehicle range, for occasional long trips, to more than 300 miles.
Just like the Dodge Zeo Concept, the Chrysler ecoVoyager looks futuristic, both on the interior and the exterior, but will never make it into production.
