In their usual tradition for the Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler has produced a bunch of concept vehicles designed to exhibit their latest design and technology trends.The Dodge Zeo is a 2+2 sport wagon that demonstrates a new breed of muscle car. Destined for a younger crowd, the Zeo features an electric-only propulsion system with a battery pack that provides a range of 250 miles (400 km).The Jeep Renegade Concept is a small 2-seater suited for sunny-weather activities. With a chopped windscreen, a roll bar, cutouts in the lower portion of the doors and an interior that can be hosed out, the Renegade Concept is said to be an eco-friendly vehicle. It is powered by a 40-mile (64-km) battery pack coupled to a small BLUETEC diesel engine, and the result is a fuel-economy figure of 110 US mpg, or 2.1 L/100 km.The Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept is a 4-door, 4-passenger vehicle designed for those who like elegance, simplicity and serenity. The ecoVoyager features a hybrid powertrain composed of a lithium-ion battery pack and a small hydrogen fuel cell that extends the range of the vehicle.

Dodge's entry in the 2008 Detroit Auto Show concept sweeps is the new ZEO, a concept that is perhaps the polar opposite of the Viper. The four-door, four-seat sport-wagon has the typical Dodge aggression but, like its partners this year, big eight- and ten-cylinder engines are out the picture. The ZEO is a battery EV with a claimed 250-mile range courtesy of a lithium ion battery pack. It will be interesting to see if this one is a runner like most Chrysler concepts or just a mock-up. We'll be watching this one very closely.
