Monday Morning at the Detroit International Auto Show

Sunday was pretty exciting at the Auto Show. We have a lot of great material on North American hybrid, electric and alternate fuel vehicles. However, a majority of the focus at this show are the hybrid and all-electric vehicles (series hybrid are being referred to as 'extended range' electric.

Following are three of the full press conference presentations by Johnson Controls, General Motors, and Chrysler (quite entertaining - a great comedy routine in the 'Johnny Carson' format). A lot of great information on what is to come. You will have to pardon the sound quality as there was a fair amount of cheering in the background of many of the presentations. The Johnson Controls presentation is about 12 minutes and both Chrysler and GM are 25 minutes each.
