Chrysler Aspen hybrid and Dodge Durango hybrid have managed an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 22 MPG highway rating.

Reasonably impressive numbers. Not great, but for a big SUV, pretty good numbers. Off course, if people buy this when all they really need is a small car, there is no net gain. But for those of us in the Clean Tech world, I'm willing to bet there are some suppliers making money off this thing, and that that technology, if applied to other vehicles, will yield even bigger results.

And of course, for many startups, big companies like Chrysler might be the best option for an exit, so things like this provide evidence that they are focusing on the right things.
