SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. –June 10, 2009 – Imagine a car door that is entirely safe,
even bullet proof, yet, while made of nano-tech fabric, can withstand
crashes by a Hummer® without a care, a door that weighs a mere whisper of its steel
counterpart thus allowing dramatic range capability, costs a fraction of
traditional manufacturing methods, takes significantly less time to manufacture and
may be the “killer app” for electric cars… This is the door that XP
Vehicles, Inc. is booking media demos for. Watch for broadcasts detailing this unique
technology on the web and television shortly. An “old school” steel
door and it’s XP counterpart will perform in side by side shoot-outs including a
real “shoot-out” conducted by SWAT officers with an AK-47 assault rifle. XP
points out that the traditional steel door will “break your foot” while you examine
it and will not damp out the impact of a crash and it’s mass will increase the
dynamics of the crash while the XP door is lightweight and ultra tolerant in a “force
incident”.
XP Vehicles, one of the first U.S. Department of Energy, Section 136, AVTM loan
applicants to receive notification that their application has been considered
substantially complete, announced the scheduling of showcase media opportunities for
the demos of their proprietary electric car components.
The company applied for a commercial $40M Department of Energy “ATVM” loan at the
beginning of November 2008 and has been in extensive due
diligence review by the U.S Government for the last seven months. Energy Secretary
Chu has ordered funds from the program to be dispersed “as fast as
possible”. XP Vehicles expects finalization soon and has also applied for additional
loan and grant opportunities and is currently negotiating with investor
opportunities.
Since early 2009, XP Vehicles has a standing challenge to every other electric car
company to beat its metrics. To date, no other electric vehicle company
has accepted the challenge. The XP Vehicles MUV (Mini Utility Vehicle) is targeted at
a $20,000.00 base price.
