AQMD is currently participating in a project to demonstrate two gasoline-fueled
plug-in hybrid vans designed with 20 miles zero emission range. This project
will expand the demonstration of the prototypes in actual fleet use.
Daimler Chrysler will produce at least 30 pre-commercial plug-in hybrid electric
Sprinter vans and place them in fleet demonstrations in North America and
Europe. EPRI will coordinate project participants in North America to evaluate
design goals including performance, emissions, fuel economy, and ZEV range and
evaluate operational data. AQMD will participate in the program by demonstrating
five of these gasoline-fueled plug-in hybrid passenger vans.
