Green Automotive Company's Subsidiary Newport Coachworks Hits Record Sales at the LCT Show in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, CA--Feb. 24, 2014: 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.

“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.”

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.”
