11 February 2009: Saturn VUE Plug-in Concept. This vehicle is expected to be the first regular production plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Depending on a consumerÕs drive cycle, the Vue plug-in hybrid will be the most fuel-efficient vehicle offered by a major automaker..This Vue Green Line will use a modified version of GMÕs two-mode hybrid system and plug-in technology, a lithium-ion battery pack, highly efficient electronics and powerful electric motors to achieve significant increases in fuel economy. When the lithium-ion batteries are fully charged, the Vue plug-in hybrid will potentially double the fuel efficiency of any current SUV. After electric-only propulsion depletes the lithium-ion energy storage system to a specified level, the battery is replenished by utilizing the two-mode hybrid systemÕs electric motors and regenerative brake systems.. The Chicago Auto Show is a charity event of the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) and is held annually at McCormick Place in Chicago Illinois.
