BMW also has 25 Hydrogen 7 demo vehicles, with hydrogen internal combustion engines, in the United States. |  Chrysler: Has 10 flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) that can run on 85 percent ethanol. Jeep Grand Cherokee is available as a diesel in 45 states; a 50-state Dodge Ram 1500 will be offered with diesel in 2010.

GM’s hybrid strategy: focus on large vehicles, such as the Tahoe and Yukon, for large fuel savings, with eight hybrid models out by year-end 2008.
