EPA, Chrysler working on hybrid engines for minivans (AP)

ANN ARBOR, Michigan - Chrysler and the Environmental Protection Agency are trying to adapt to technology engine, invented by the EPA to improve mileage gas by minibus.

Society and the Government agency said Wednesday they work for hybrid hydraulic system of EPA minivans Chrysler. If this works, the system could stimulate minibus mileage 35 percent to approximately 27 miles per gallon. Currently the Chrysler minivan top gets 20 mpg in the city of handsets and the road.

The agreement was announced as Chrysler and other auto companies seek new technologies to help meet Government fuel strict economy requiring a fleet average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, close to 10 miles per gallon now. Standards could go up to 47 mpg mpg 62 by 2025.

The system, invented by scientists at the EPA laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is now used in the delivery of the trash trucks and package more than a dozen of Florida and Michigan. 50 Trucks are on the order of manufacturers who have authorized the system. It uses the energy of conventional truck engines and brakes fluid pump in a reservoir under high pressure. Fluid is out and running hydraulic motors that power of the truck, and the conventional engine is activated only when needed to pressurize the reservoir.

"Technology has been very successful for large trucks, unmitigated type", said David Haugen, Director of the EPA laboratory technology development.

Chrysler, which is 10% owned by the U.S. Government because of a rescue of 12.5 billion in 2009, had lower gas mileage fleet of any major manufacturer in 2009 to mpg 19.2.
