Following AFS Trinity's 150 mpg SUV's recent Earth Day Tour (and, of course, the vehicle's presence at the Detroit Auto Show), there's a bit of potential good news regarding how this vehicle might actually make it to customers' hands. Today, AFS Trinity Power Corporation and Ricardo plc announced the creation of something they're calling Extreme Fleet, which is a joint program to offer Extreme Hybrid vehicles to fleet operators. Interested operators can check out the plug-in SUV at the 2008 NAFA Institute and Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah starting Sunday. Neither company announced when the Extreme Fleet program would commence.

Remember, though, the way AFS Trinity calculates that "150 mpg" number is not how most people would figure this vehicle's mpge. Some more standard numbers are that this PHEV can go 40 miles on an overnight charge and up to 87 mph in EV mode, which are both pretty nice. More details after the jump.
