Fisker Set to Enter the Green Game - September 6th, 2007
Well, looks like there’s going to be a new player in the green automotive game and this one intends to be a gold label player. Fisker Automotive, Inc. is a joint venture of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Fisker Coachbuild, LLC.
They’re planning on a whole range of “premium” environmentally friendly cars with the first one set to make its public debut at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. (That’s in January if you keep track of such.)
The company has opening plans of around 15,000 units a year at price tags under $100,000. And they’re all going to be plug-in hybrids. Read that again in case you blinked. Plug-in hybrids.
Alan Niedzwiecki, the CEO of Quantum, had this to say in the corporate press release. “Our goal here is to deliver the advancement that Quantum Technologies has made in the area of plug-in hybrid technology. By combining our efforts with the renowned design talent of Henrick Fisker, we can produce a car that makes a difference to the environment — without sacrificing the luxury that accompanies the finies automobiles.”
Okay, do I even need to say, “Drool?” We’ll definitely be watching the Detroit shows for photos of the first Fisker.
