I would like to make awareness of a new start-up company, Alternate Propulsion Motor Co. This company is gearing up to create hybrid / EV conversions for existing vehicles. The idea is to replace the cars internal combustion engine with our own gas-electric hybrid, PHEV, or Full electric.

We are in the prototyping stages and should be ready for market late 2007.

Hi, I went into your link to try and find out what cars you convert, but couldn't seem to find any information about that.
I would love to know more - could you post a link to the relevent page?

Well good news! And what's your role/function/status in this start-up? Is it privately owned or is it a stock-issuing corporation?

Thanks for that info - and where did the start-up money come from?

Hey,

I would say that 2007 was quite the pipe dream. We're still trying to refine the process, taking into account other things like not crippling Air conditioning if the engine is not running, and being able to have your car in and out of the shop within a day or three. I refuse to shovel a crappy product out of the door just to say we've got a product out of the door.

As with any company trying to break out of it's egg shell, were coming up against a few financial roadblocks. We're still actively looking for investors, and if anyone is interested, please PM me. Prototyping is very expensive and drains our funds quickly.

But I wanted you all to know that we're still around and not to forget us.

-Dave
