With its groundbreaking three-wheeler that is on a mission to change the world, Elio Motors was rightfully on the guest list of the 8th Annual National Clean Energy Summit held recently in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Elio Motors describes its car innovation as an ultra-fuel efficient vehicle with its 84 miles per gallon fuel efficiency rating and affordable price point of $6,800. The sleek two-seater vehicle will debut in the US market next year but already has nearly 45,000 reservations as of August 26, indicating how widely anticipated the car is.
The company’s participation in the clean energy summit is both timely and appropriate because one of the three most important aspects of its three-wheel vehicle is its positive impact to the environment.
The summit had US President Barack Obama as keynote speaker, where he shared his vision under the new Clean Power Plan, for the continued development of a clean energy economy for America, details the Elio Motors website in its story about the event.
The Elio Motors groundbreaking vehicle project is consistent with the thrusts of both the National Clean Energy Summit and the US President for a clean energy economy because of the car’s positive effect to the environment.
By using the three-wheel vehicle, Americans will actually be putting fewer pollutants into the air than even the most environmentally-friendly cars in the US motoring retail markets today.
Doing the math on its ripple effects by multiplying the number of Elio vehicles to be sold, the US is actually looking at saving nearly five billion gallons of fuel per year, while reducing harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the air by approximately 90 billion pounds.
The other two favorite aspects
Apart from the positive effect to the environment of the Elio Motors vehicle, the other two favorite aspects of Americans about the car is its value and American manufacturing.
The degree of importance of these three favorite aspects actually varies from state-to-state, but it is clear that the US motoring retail markets are very ready to welcome the official rollout of the groundbreaking vehicle next year.
When it comes to value, there is no other vehicle in the market today that comes close to the price point of the Elio Motors project. As far as American manufacturing is concerned, the company was able to showcase its core messaging in Detroit just last week.
As for environmental impact, the fact that Elio Motors went to Nevada and join the NCES means that the company wants to be involved in initiatives involving clean energy economy. The summit actually explored the investments, partnerships, and innovations needed to continue the incredible momentum that Americans have gained towards such thrust.
Nevada was also chosen as the venue for the summit because it is the state that leads the US in solar and geothermal markets and has become an important hub for clean energy, advanced manufacturing technologies, and data centers.
A car for everyone
Elio Motors is positioning its groundbreaking three-wheel vehicle as a car for everyone. With its superb 84 miles per gallon fuel efficiency rating and its $6,800 retail price when it officially rolls out to the motoring retail markets by next year, there is no further elaboration needed on how innovative and groundbreaking the vehicle is.
The independent American carmaker is promising the next big thing in transportation with its innovative vehicle, which is set to go into mass production next year at its manufacturing facility located at Caddo Parish in Louisiana, using a portion of the former GM Shreveport Operations plant.
The company is still accepting reservation at its website with the assurance to early bird buyers that they will get their unit within the first year of production, ahead of the rest.
Elio Motors has also stated that the right people have already been hired to design and build the car, which it is calling as the P5 since it is already the fifth generation prototype.
For a small and very affordably-priced vehicle, most consumers would logically expect that the three-wheeler would have limited tech features, especially in its interiors.
