SymPowerco Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SYMW) CEO John Davenport
commented today on the $2.4 billion in federal funding for electric
vehicle manufacturing that President Obama announced during his
visit to Indiana. The funding included about $400 million to buy
thousands of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles for
demonstration projects, $1.5 billion to foster an advanced vehicle
battery industry in the U.S. and about $500 million granted to
makers of electric drive components, power system and the other
parts needed to make electric vehicles.
SymPowerco President and CEO John Davenport commented, "At
SymPowerco, we believe that the funding for electric vehicle
manufacturing announced by President Obama signals the beginning of
a serious effort on the part of America to become the world leader
in not only the research and development of electric vehicles, but
also in the development of the resources, technologies and
components required for efficient manufacturing of electric
vehicles that can then be offered at the lowest cost.
"Federal support can drastically lower the cost of components
such as batteries, electronic control systems and electric drives
by encouraging early development and adoption of efficient,
standardized and mass produced components. At SymPowerco we believe
that this will shorten the timeline to market and substantially
lower the cost of commercialization of our Flowing Electrolyte
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell and Hybrid Power System technologies
because we can expect to couple our unique fuel cell to
'off-the-shelf' components for most of our commercial
applications."
Mr. Davenport further stated, "Not only can we benefit from
funding granted directly to SymPowerco through our own application
processes but we can benefit directly when funding is provided to
other corporations and institutions that are developing the
components we'll need to advance our own technologies. It's a
win-win situation for the entire industry."
SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power
delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation
and portable power system markets. SymPowerco's soon-to-be
majority-owned subsidiaries, HOSS Motor Sports and Highline
Hydrogen Hybrids Systems, offer potentially expansive synergies and
marketing opportunities with SymPowerco's Flowing Electrolyte
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell and Hybrid Power System technologies.
