DaimlerChrysler and General Motors have announced that they will work together to develop a two-mode full hybrid propulsion system for application in General Motors, Chrysler Group and Mercedes Car Group vehicles. The first application of the full hybrid system will be launched in late 2007 in two of GM's most popular full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Chrysler Group will launch the technology shortly thereafter in its Dodge Durango full sized SUV. This system is expected to reduce fuel consumption at highway speeds more effectively than currently available single mode hybrid systems. It is expected to achieve at least a 25 percent improvement in composite fuel economy in full-size truck applications. See GM Press Release
