Beyond its joint program with the EPA that's focused on developing a hydraulic hybrid system for passenger cars, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has revealed plans to bring a more conventional gasoline-electric hybrid version of the new Chrysler 300 to market here in 2013. He followed up comments initially made at the Detroit Auto Show by telling workers at the automaker's plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, that a hybrid minivan also will be joining the corporate lineup, although he gave no confirmation as to whether it would be based on a next-gen version of the Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan. Both minivans are currently produced at the Canadian facility along with the Chrysler 300, but Marchionne previously indicated that one of the two will likely be replaced by some sort of new multipurpose "people mover" when the full redesign does occur. Windsor also will be the future home of their hybrid offshoots, including a rebadged Chrysler 300/300 Hybrid that will be sold in Europe as the Lancia Thema/Thema Hybrid.
