Chrysler Aspen Hybrid

The hybrid technology is one of the best that is talked about. It is the combination of electric motors with internal combustion engine. Most of the hybrid vehicles are single mode systems which can operate in gas, electric or both. Chrysler Aspen has a two mode HEMI hybrid system takes it one step further with a unique electrically variable transmission. The two-mode architecture is more efficient than traditional hybrid systems.

The model is elegant; the powertrain can be adjusted at different speeds to yield the most efficient use of power and saves fuel. One of the most common benefits of fuel economy is lower emissions. It is a perfect blend of performance, utility and fuel economy. The advanced two-mode hybrid technology in the 2009 Aspen Hybrid will use an Electrically Variable Transmission.

In this, the engine is shut off and fuel consumption is reduced significantly in heavy stop- and-go traffic. The second mode is for higher speeds. The system utilizes not just the full power from the 5.7 liter HEMI V-8 engine but also an electrical assist. The feature improves acceleration performance without sacrificing fuel economy.
