Blue Ash, OH (PRWEB) February 24, 2010 -- Advanced Mechanical Products, Inc. (AMP), a company engaged in the all-electric, emission-free conversion of new vehicles, announced today the unveiling of its latest all-electric conversion platform, the GM Chevrolet Equinox, which will be revealed to the world today as part of the grand opening ceremonies of its first showroom.

Today's announcement is one of historic proportions, as the event is poised to make AMP the first to bring to market an all-electric, crossover vehicle for retail sale. The AMP'd Equinox is a converted or up-fitted GM Chevrolet Equinox that is a 100% electric, clean conversion, American-made vehicle. The vehicle will reach a top speed of 90 miles an hour, and will go from zero to 60 miles per hour in approximately eight seconds, with a charge voltage of either 110V or 220V. And with pricing expected to be below $50,000, after government incentives, the Company believes the AMP'd Equinox is also quite affordable.

Citing the Nissan Leaf as its closest rival, the AMP'd Equinox is already setting the bar high. The AMP'd Equinox, utilizing high efficiency Remy motors, will travel up to 150 miles on a single charge, which compares favorably to the Nissan Leaf which will travel up to 100 miles on a charge. The Leaf is not expected to reach the market until January 2011.

Steve Burns, CEO of Advanced Mechanical Products, said, "In a growing electric vehicle market, we believe AMP has clearly established itself as a pioneer. Not only will AMP be the first to reach the market, but we will also be breaking the mold in terms of what the public expects from an all-electric vehicle.

"Pre-conversion, the Chevy Equinox is an outstanding vehicle in its own right - winner of the Consumer Digest Best Buy award and a five-star frontal and side-impact crash safety ratings. This vehicle is truly a modern day car, with all the features and stringent safety requirements the Chevy Equinox is extolled for. We are thrilled to bring our next 100% electric vehicle platform to market, as this latest offering is a clear display of our true passion for, and an unyielding commitment to, the environment and sustainability."

AMP will be hosting the invitation-only grand opening party in its first showroom and U.S. production headquarters, located in Cincinnati, OH. Expected to be in attendance will be select guests and dignitaries, such as Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, and members of the media. The Company will begin taking orders at its opening event and expects the fully-converted vehicle to be available for a June 2010 delivery. AMP intends to have a formal unveiling, with demonstrations available, at the New York Auto Show, which commences on April 2, 2010.
