Business Wire
Green Automotive Company’s (OTCQB:GACR) Californian subsidiary
Newport Coachworks was one of the major exhibitors at last week’s
LCT Show, one of the largest shuttle and charter events, where the
company presented its shuttle bus range on a 2500 sq. ft.
exhibition space. Newport Coachwork’s display of innovative and
high quality shuttle and limo buses saw over 450 bus operators
visit their stand from the US, Canada, France, and a number of
other regions: During the show, the company took orders for over
$1.6 Mio.
The selling “star” was the Patriot, 19 to 23 seat shuttle bus,
with 9 buses sold. 3 customers chose the biggest model, the Freedom
45, for its beautiful exterior design and finish. The up-market
Limo bus with its fancy interior seduced 2 companies, for a total
of 14 sales at the show!
JJ Bell, VP of Bell Transportation, one of the largest bus
operators in Las Vegas said: “In an increasingly competitive
market, we are looking for ways to differentiate ourselves and add
value for our customers. Providing them with an outstanding ride
and comfort level increases their satisfaction and helps us to grow
our business. This is exactly what Newport Coachworks delivers for
us.”
Carter Read, President of Newport Coachworks is delighted: “In
February 2013 we opened our factory doors and in May 2013 we
delivered our first bus. One year later, and we have experienced an
incredible response to our participation at the LCT Show! I am very
proud of what our team has been able to achieve. In addition to
firm orders, we have had interest from a number of other potential
customers which we will follow up after the show. We also had the
opportunity to test the market acceptance of our electric bus
through discussions with a number of interested parties, and many
are excited to be offered a zero emission transport solution built
to our high quality standards.”
JJ Bell confirmed: “An electric bus would give us an additional
means of differentiation, and allow us to reduce our operational
costs. It is the perfect solution for inter-urban short distance
travel like we do in Las Vegas. We are looking forward to test
driving the e-Patriot in the coming weeks.”
