Both the Jeep Commander and Jeep Grand Cherokee will have new models that operate on ethanol fuel for 2007, the company said.

"A significant part of the solution to our energy, environment and national security issues can be homegrown," said Tom LaSorda, president and CEO of the company´s Chrysler Group.

About 1.5 million Chrysler Group vehicles capable of using flexible fuel are already on the road. That figure represents about 10 percent of all vehicles sold by the company since 1998.

Other nameplates available with flexible-fuel capability include the Chrysler Sebring sedan and convertible, Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram pickups, and Dodge Durango SUV, the company said. The Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country minivans will be available for fleet customers.
