Sprint, don't run, to your nearest Dodge dealer in California, Kansas City and New York to be one of the few lucky customers to drive a plug-in hybrid. As part of a test fleet program DaimlerChrysler is placing the Dodge Sprinter PHEV with a variety of customers around the world. The company claims to be the only auto manufacturer to investigate the feasibility of plug-in hybrid technology in real-world tests. It can drive up to 20 miles on electric-only power. In hybrid mode the Sprinter moves with the assistance of 5-cylinder diesel or V-6 gasoline engine; a switch on the dashboard gives the operator the ability to manually change between modes as needed or automatically using the vehicle control system. Plug-in technology lends itself to commercial applications in which the vehicle returns to base after each shift.
