Beam Global (NASDAQ: Nasdaq: BEEM) will power the longest flight
ever in a production electric aircraft powered entirely by off-grid
renewable energy. The multi-leg quest starts in Fresno and
culminates at a media event in Sacramento on July 15, proving zero
emission aviation is not only possible, it’s here.
Members of the media are invited to attend the media event and
the stops along the way to explore the plane while it is charging
on the tarmac. The stops include Fresno (starting location),
Madera, Merced, Modesto, Lodi and Sacramento (ending location).
Pilot Joseph Oldham, Founder and CEO of New Vision Aviation and a
Central Valley native and Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley will be
available for interviews.
As the momentum behind the electrification of transportation
continues to grow, this world record attempt will highlight the
coming revolution of air travel and the Made in America tools
ushering in a new era of clean transportation led by California.
Governor Gavin Newsom has even dedicated a portion of the proposed
2021 state budget to mitigating the dangers posed by climate
change, including efforts to prioritize zero-emission
transportation.
