Green Automotive Company (GAC) is organizing its first Open Day on the 4^th of May to present its new manufacturing facility in Riverside, Calif., and to view the first buses to roll off the production line.

The GAC management team will all be there, and available to discuss aspects of the groups achievements and future plans.

Green Automotive said it has made significant changes to its company over the past 9 months in order to become a competitive player in automotive niche markets.

Its acquisition of Liberty Electric Cars, including its unique technical expertise in EV technology, have been followed by the acquisition of Newport Coachworks, the California-based shuttle bus and limo manufacturer, and GoinGreen, the largest single distributor of EVs in Europe.

The Newport Coachworks team has been working to build its first “all American” shuttle buses in its new state-of-the-art production facility in Riverside.

The company is now starting to deliver the first buses to its major customer, Don Brown, who has placed several orders that are expected to fill the plant’s current capacity for the next 2 years.

To meet this demand, GAC said it has invested heavily in the most technically advanced machinery such as a 5 axis CNC machine and a full length spray booth and oven for painting even the longest buses.

Furthermore the company has embarked on the development of its first “All American” electric shuttle bus in cooperation with its specialist EV division Liberty Electric Cars.

These successful developments have prompted Green Automotive to invite all its stakeholders to view the facility in Riverside and to share with them the latest achievements.

Commenting on the day, Ian Hobday, Director GAC, said that “the day is open to our customers, the press, VIPs from region, suppliers and of course our Shareholders and Investors. Thanks to our Californian team, we have made tremendous progress in the past months and we would like to share this outstanding result with all of our stakeholders.”

According to Newport Coachworks’ Web site, the company is committed to producing vehicles that help to reduce CO2 emissions and through technology available from its sister company Liberty Electric Cars, is able to offer eco-friendly solutions to all its customers. The Newport Coachworks “Green series” include: CNG, Hybrid and all electric vehicles.

Those interested in joining the event on the 4^th of May can confirm their participation to the Open Day on the company’s Web site.

Going Green Limited, doing business under the brand name GoinGreen, has sold over 1400 of the G-Wiz electric vehicles.

GoinGreen was founded in 2002 and, from the beginning, adopted the mission to minimize the effects of climate change by encouraging carbon-neutral motoring. The company pioneered electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK with the G-Wiz, an EV designed in California and manufactured in India by the Indo-Reva Electric Car company.

With over 1400 vehicles distributed in the UK alone, Green Automotive said GoinGreen has sold the highest number of EVs from a single retail point in any European country. GoinGreen has accumulated over 60 million miles of electric vehicle user experience, and developed a world-class team with more than 100 years combined EV, automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering experience.

GoinGreen celebrated its 10^th year in business in 2012 by embarking on a program to become the first “1 stop shop” for sales of all forms of EV transport – from electric bikes and scooters to electric motor bikes; from electric city cars to electric vans and trucks, all complemented by GoinGreen’s after-sales support and service.

Commenting on the agreement, Mr. Ian Hobday, Board Director of Green Automotive Company, said, “GoinGreen adds to our Liberty business in the UK, and positions us as the UK’s primary EV retailer. GoinGreen also fits perfectly with Green Automotive’s ambitions to develop its EV presence both in Europe and North America. As other regions and cities adopt measures to reduce urban pollution we anticipate Green Automotive moving quickly to establish GoinGreen franchises in many areas, including the US, introducing our high quality, unique range of EVs and e-bikes, and, most importantly, providing a full range of after-sales support.”
