March 14, 2007 8:22PM by Michael Savio
DaimlerChrysler has said that all of its future vehicles will be available with an optional hybrid powertrain. DaimlerChrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche told German automotive magazine Auto Motor und Sport that hybrids are “very important” due to new European and U.S. regulations on CO2 emissions.
DaimlerChrysler’s first hybrid will be a hybrid version of the Dodge Durango, which will use the two-mode transmission currently being developed in conjunction with BMW and General Motors. Zetsche said the first Mercedes-badged hybrid vehicle will arrive for the 2008 model year.
