Green Automotive Company Corporation (OTC:GACR) ( www.usaelectricauto.com) announced today that on February 26, 2011, it loaded and shipped nine (9) additional vehicles to increase its available fleet for both Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) testing and other vehicle evaluation purposes. This recent shipment, consisting of eight (8) All-Electric Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) and one All-Electric Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV), originated from Shanghai, China and is expected to arrive this week in the Port of Long Beach, California.
According to Fred Luke, President of Green Automotive, the Company purchased the nine (9) additional vehicles for the express purpose of ensuring compliance with all U.S. DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards ("FMVSS") requirements. "The purchase of these additional vehicles," said Mr. Luke, "is in keeping with our plans to perform full compliance testing here in the U.S., which will ensure that the Company brings to market a full electric vehicle that is also fully compliant with all U.S. safety standards."
Green Automotive announced late last year that it expects to initially enter the U.S. motor vehicle market before the end of 2011 with its All-Electric SUV, and recently plans to add the MPV to its planned fleet in 2012.
