Featured Finalist at Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C.
BLUE ASH, Ohio, Sep 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- AMP Holding Inc. (OTCBB:AMPD), a company engaged in the emission-free electrification of OEM vehicles, announced today it has been invited to be featured in a display of super fuel efficient vehicles, as part of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE awards ceremony in Washington D.C., September 16, 2010.
Steve Burns, CEO of AMP, said, "From inception, the X PRIZE competition has been about developing real, production-capable cars that consumers will want to buy, not science projects or concept cars. This core principal resonated and truly inspired our progress - what we've learned throughout the nearly two years spent preparing for this competition has been invaluable. In fact, we've taken those lessons learned directly to the production floor, with our now production-ready 100% electric GM Equinox."
Ceremony attendees will have an opportunity to meet AMP's team members and view the 100% electric AMP vehicle, as well as other technologies that will shape the future of the automotive industry. AMP's vehicle was a finalist in the competition, and met nearly all of the competition's strict requirements, including the ability to achieve 100 miles per gallon or the energy equivalent. One of eight finalists in its category, the AMP entry was the only commercially-produced, non-concept vehicle in the finals to achieve this certification.
The X PRIZE awards ceremony will take place on September 16th at the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. In attendance will be various politicians and government officials. Also expected to be in attendance are representatives from the Department of Energy and Consumer Reports, both of which participated in the judging of qualifying rounds during the competition. In addition to the significant media attention surrounding the event, the National Geographic Channel will be airing a documentary on the competition titled "X PRIZE Cars: Accelerating the Future," at 9pm EDT on September 16th.
