Dodge Zeo Concept 

Detroit, Jan 14, 2008 - The 2008 Dodge ZEO—Zero Emissions Operation—concept vehicle is a four-passenger, all-electric, 2+2 sport wagon that embraces the bold, emotional characteristic of the Dodge brand.

Most of the interior surfaces of the ZEO concept are colored in Super White, adding to the sculptural impression.

The 2008 Dodge ZEO concept is designed to break the paradigm of what an electric car should look like,” said Bill Zheng, 2008 Dodge ZEO principal exterior designer.

The advanced propulsion system powering the 2008 Dodge ZEO concept is electric-only with a 64 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack capable of at least 250 miles.

The Zeo's steering wheel is particularly funky, in that its two spokes are placed vertically at the bottom of the wheel, leaving lots of room for the driver to view the elaborate message center in front of the wheel; like some Citroens' steering wheels, the Zeo's wheel rim rotates around its fixed center.

Interior designer Lou Gasevski adds, "The Dodge Zeo concept is an example of designing for people who are used to a dynamic lifestyle and who are surrounded with information and virtual friends at all times.

It doesn't hurt that the rear-wheel-drive pseudo-wagon weighs just 2650 pounds.
