Altairnano and Phoenix to Exhibit at the Alternative Car and Transportation Expo
RENO, Nev.--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. , will demonstrate its safe, fast charge, long life NanoSafe batteries in Phoenix Motorcars’ zero emission, all electric, freeway-ready sports utility truck (SUT) and sports utility vehicle (SUV) at the Alternative Car and Transportation Expo to be held in Santa Monica, California on December 9th and 10th. The Altairnano-powered Phoenix SUT and SUV will be featured in both the Phoenix booth as well as in the Ride & Drive event.
Altairnano’s nano-Titanate battery packs allow the Phoenix SUT to exceed all specifications for the State of California Type III ZEV. The NanoSafe 35kWh pack in the SUT can be recharged in less than 10 minutes with the appropriate battery charger, provides sufficient power and energy for a fleet vehicle to travel up to 130 miles at speeds up to 95 mph.
“This event is an important milestone for Altairnano as the SUT is powered by the first NanoSafe battery production pack that we shipped to Phoenix in November,” said Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Altair Nanotechnologies Inc.
The Ride & Drive event will run for both days of the Expo and provides the general public the opportunity of riding in the Phoenix Motorcars SUT.
The Expo will be held at the Santa Monica Air Center. More information on the event can be found at www.altcarexpo.com
