AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 08/26/09 -- Ronn Motor Company, Inc. (RMC) (PINKSHEETS: RNNM) announced today that the Company has partnered with I Drive Green to
promote "green" driving that should reach 150 million individuals via its
IDG Academy program and eBay Motors.
Ronn Maxwell, CEO of Ronn Motor Company, stated, "'Drive Green Because You
Can' is a very unique initiative intended to bring attention to green
driving contribution for maintaining living and to point out the ability of
every individual consumer and corporation to live more sustainably by
interacting with urban mobility. Our current use of oil endangers our
health, our economy and the political and social stability of the world.
Forty percent of the world's oil output fuels the automotive industry --
and in the U.S., sixty five percent of oil consumption is in the
transportation sector. It is proven that automotive emissions contribute
significantly to global climate change. Efforts by both the automotive
industry and governments to increase fuel economy have not achieved the
significant course change necessary to make a substantial difference. It is
a multi stakeholder challenge. IDG brings several intelligent solutions to
allow every driver to contribute to a greener environment."
Ronn Motors, through its Green Automotive products, will bring
an immediate contribution to the clean air challenge in many ways:
the introduction of the first
eco-exotic supercar, the Scorpion(TM) using hydrogen technology, the
introduction of H2GO(TM) real-time hydrogen injection systems, available
through Frigette Energy Systems and selected distributors, drastically
reducing hydrocarbon emissions as well as Ronnzoil oils, hydraulic fluids
and lubricants, all clean and environmentally friendly.
Jean-Paul Libert, a principal of IDG LLC, commented, "Starting immediately,
I Drive Green initiatives will promote the Ronn Motors range of products in
all marketing activities. Our significant partnership with eBay motors will
contribute through the I Drive Green webpage to reach more than 150 million
individuals about our initiative. It makes total sense for Ronn Motors to
join forces with I Drive Green in order to educate the world about being
green as well as to acquire the technology available immediately to be
greener. We will add Ronn Motors products to our green portfolio."
I Drive Green connection with the racing industry will also offer Ronn
Motors a great opportunity to develop several technical partnerships at
various levels and to reach a core group of fans interested in new products
and technologies.
Established in 2009, I Drive Green is an organization founded by French
Driver Nelson Philippe and environmental specialist
Jean-Paul Libert as a means of using motorsports to educate enthusiasts
about new environmental initiatives, practices, and technologies.
