New Jeep Concept : Help Save the Earth while having FUN! The JeepĀ® Renegade concept vehicle will be introduced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show on Monday, January 14, 2008, at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The Jeep Renegade Concept is a sporty B-segment-sized two-seater ideally suited for the all-weather delights of off-roading and dune surfing. Featuring a cut-down speedster windshield, a roll bar, openings in the door lowers and a hose-out interior, it is an "eco-friendly" vehicle with minimized use of materials - designed for those who want to enjoy the earth while taking care of its future. The propulsion system combines a 40-mile lithium-ion battery pack and a small-displacement BLUETEC diesel engine. The result: fuel economy of more than 110 miles per gallon.
