NY Times to haul papers in PHEV with infinite Fuel Economy for the first 20

Last week, the New York Times received the first medium-duty plug-in hybrid vehicle on the East Coast to use in its commercial fleet as part of a technology evaluation. The newspaper plans to use the Dodge Sprinter at a printing plant in Queens to haul newspapers to its Manhattan headquarters. DaimlerChrysler is the only auto manufacturer currently evaluating a variety of plug-in hybrid powertrain (diesel and gas) configurations in real-world, customer-operation service within the United States.
