The minivans will be part of a demonstration fleet of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that Chrysler Group LLC has developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy.
The 25 Chrysler minivans will join a fleet of 140 Ram 1500 pickup trucks that will be deployed to 12 partners, including local municipalities, state governments, universities and energy companies across the United States.
