Blame it on the NHTSA for not being able to get one of these mid-size forward-control Asian vans such as the Kia Pregio.

This one, specificly, has seating for 11 passengers plus driver.

Anyway, if you wouldn't want to follow the Diesel route, the closest-to-OEM approach might be fitting the guts of a Silverado hybrid into a Chevy Express. Too bad FCA didn't brought a passenger-van version of the ProMaster, its FWD layout is good for efficiency due to the lighter driveline and also nice due to the lower boarding height.
