The Chrysler ecoVoyager concept was a battery and hydrogen
fuel cell powered passenger vehicle displayed at the 2008
Detroit Motor Show.
The Chrysler ecoVoyager's wheels are driven by an electric
motor, with power primarily supplied by a lithium-ion
battery pack. The electric motor develops 200 kilowatts
(268 horsepower), giving the ecoVoyager a 0-60 mph acceleration
time of 8.8 seconds. A regenerative
braking system helps top up the battery during deceleration.
The ecoVoyager concept uses a small hydrogen fuel cell
to extend the range for occasional long trips. Using the
hydrogen fuel cell, the Chrysler ecoVoyager's total range
is greater than 300 miles, with only water exiting the
tailpipe.
The styling of the Chrysler ecoVoyager is not the most
exciting, but it's mono-box shape is well executed and
practical, providing the maximum amount of interior space
for the occupants.
The ecoVoyager's four individual chairs are contoured
for personalized comfort. The seat framing is exposed,
with under-seat storage drawers. Front seats have individual
cantilevered, adjustable armrests containing the window
controls and heat/massage switches, while individual rear-seat
armrests fold into the cabin back panel. With the ability
to store six 20-ounce bottles, the floor console dividing
the rear seats accommodates hot or cold beverages.
