Vehicles powered by vegetable oils? Trees? Garbage?

It's happening today as biodiesel becomes an increasingly important source of fuel for the nation's transportation industry.

DaimlerChrysler has taken the lead among automakers in promoting use of biodiesel by fueling each new 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD diesel sport-utility vehicle with B5 (5% biodiesel) at the factory in Toledo, Ohio.

Please join us at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden to hear about DaimlerChrysler's support of biodiesel, to learn about the technology breakthroughs that have created today's modern clean-running diesel vehicles and to talk with experts from NREL about the promise and challenge of biodiesel and other renewable fuels.

Following presentations from NREL and DaimlerChrysler fuels and engineering experts, you are encouraged to join our presenters for lunch and test drive the 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD -- the first diesel-powered mid-size SUV available in the United States.
