Chrysler EcoVoyager: A Forgotten Hydrogen-Electric Pioneer

Chrysler EcoVoyager: A Forgotten Hydrogen-Electric Pioneer​

A Bold Step Towards Hydrogen-Electric Travel​


1740244559130.png

Back in 2008, Chrysler unveiled the ecoVoyager Concept, a futuristic, hydrogen-electric luxury vehicle designed for zero-emissions travel. While it never made it to production, it showcased bold ideas that pushed Chrysler’s design and technology forward. The ecoVoyager combined an electric motor with a hydrogen fuel-cell range extender, offering over 300 miles (482 km) of total range while emitting only water vapor.

 
Uncanny resemblance to the Airflow concept. What strikes me most is the upscale level and design of the interior. It clearly defines a standard of where Chrysler needs to be with all their new products. We have enough SUVs in the Jeep and Dodge brands that trends toward the broad marketplace and though Chrysler could use an SUV, perhaps spun off the next generation Durango, this stylish hatchback, (apologizes to the lackluster Airflow that failed to offer a far more definitive Chrysler style signature face), models what Chrysler needs most, to go upscale and define itself as affordable luxury. Definitively perhaps as a less costly American Maserati, if I may suggest that as a comparison target for the brand.
The relaunch of Chrysler without that affordable luxury DNA at its foundation would be a strategic mistake, as this Eco Voyager concept clearly shows what Chrysler can and must do to define its market niche and reconnect with its traditional audience.
