Default Electric Motors Corporation-the first ever American made electric light duty pick-up

ELKHART, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Want an 'electrifying' sneak peak of the EMC Flash - the first ever American made electric light duty pick-up truck? Join Electric Motors Corporation (Pink Sheets: EMCO - News) on September 5th, 2009 for Green Jobs for America: An Entertainment and Education Exposition.

EMC (EMCO.PK) and its like-minded business partners want to inspire and educate the communities of Northern Indiana on the benefits of emerging 'green' technologies and the jobs being created as a result.

"With companies like Gulf Stream and EMC joining forces, we believe the 'green' technology movement is not only making headway worldwide, but more importantly, in Northern Indiana," said Wil Cashen, CEO of Electric Motors Corporation. "Products like the EMC Flash are only one example of technology that is more efficient, cleaner and better for the future of the planet."

The premier Green Jobs for America event will take place at EMC's Wakarusa headquarters, located at 905 Nelson's Parkway, from 3:30 to 11:00pm on September 5th, 2009. It is free and open to the public.

The exposition will provide local 'green' businesses with a unique opportunity to showcase electric vehicles, alternative energy, biofuels, and other innovations from supporting industries.

Educational partners from Purdue University, Ivy Tech, Lake Michigan College and Apprentice Academy/Vincennes University will also be exhibiting the importance of 'green' technologies and the future 'green' endeavors of each school.

As an added bonus, the event will feature a performance by 'The Byrds Celebration', featuring former 'Byrds' front man Terry Jones Rogers. Famous for songs like "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Mr. Tambourine Man," 'The Byrds' were an influential group of the late 1960's and early 1970's, and have remained an important part of music history for the past five decades. 'The Byrds Celebration' continues 'The Byrds' legacy and promises to be a special treat.


Emmy-award winning production company BCII will be filming the Green Jobs for America exposition. Footage from the event will be used to deliver the message of the need for 'green' technology and the benefit of 'green' jobs to a national audience.

"We hope that national exposure of BCII's 'green' documentary will bring more attention to cause of 'green' job creation," Cashen added. "We want this community of dedicated partners to continue to grow on both a local and national level."

EMC Engines

EMC is an American Green Electronics and Drive Systems Company located in California that manufacturers a family of Electronically Controlled Flex~fuel ULE (ultra low emissions) ICE engines and Electric and Hybrid Electric Drive Systems.

EMC Drive Systems (EMC) has purchased a unique internal combustion engine that EMC is currently developing into a new class of 750cc - 1,200cc engines that will dominate the global ULE and Hybrid~Electronic drive systems for the next 3 decades.

The first EMC 750cc - 1,200cc ICE~ULE engines will be available for customer applications in the first quarter of 2009.

EMC's family of Electronic Drive Axles and eComponding Drive Systems, 40kw - 130kw will be begin testing and certification in the second quarter of 2009.

The EMC family of Hybrid~Electronic Drive Systems, 45kw - 110kw will be begin testing and certification in the third quarter of 2009.

The EMC family of Electronic Drive Axles and eComponding Drive Systems will be available for customer applications and installation and packaging studies in the fourth quarter of 2009.

All car companies such as Ford, GM, Chrysler, VW, Mitsubishi, etc, start many of their new models with outside suppliers to reduce tooling costs at start up.

The estimate is in the hundreds of thousand units annually of vehicles and parts and components that are produced by outside suppliers.

The Mini and Micro Class of vehicles is the fastest developing global market seeing expediential growth as manufacturers utilize engines with a small carbon footprint.

Globally, Manufacturers currently do not have off-shelf units for new Mini and Micro models.

Manufacturers are now sourcing outside suppliers globally for engines and hybrid drive systems to offer buyers more competitive and fuel efficient options.
