AUSTIN, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 11, 2009 -- On Tuesday, March 10, 2009, California Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger test drove Ronn Motor Company's (Other OTC:RNNM.PK - News)
acclaimed Scorpion(TM), a hydrogen assisted eco-exotic sports
car capable
of hitting 40 miles per gallon and 200 miles per hour. The
test drive with
Ronn Motor's founder and CEO Ronn Maxwell in the passenger
seat, came after
Schwarzenegger read a recent article in Men's Journal which
proclaimed the
Scorpion(TM) as "God's Own Supercar."
Schwarzenegger is consistently on record as an advocate
of fuel efficiency
and as an automobile enthusiast. His well-publicized interest
in the Hummer
was seen as a critical moment in that brand's expansion
and popularity.
Additionally and according to the Washington Post, Schwarzenegger
had one
of his beloved Hummers retooled to run on alternative fuels.
In 2006, the
actor-turned-governor signed the nation's first environmental
law of its
kind, committing the state to lowering its greenhouse gas
production to
1990 levels by 2020 and setting up an international program
that provides
manufacturers with incentives to lower carbon emissions
by 2012.
After receiving an inquiry from Schwarzenegger directly
after the Men's
Journal hit newsstands, Maxwell fulfilled his promise to
bring the car to
California, parking the curvaceous Scorpion(TM) on the steps
of the Capital
building for a photo-op with the news media and a curious
public.
During the press conference, the governor talked about his
ongoing support
of small boutique companies such as Ronn Motor Company,
which are
developing much needed alternative energy technologies so
that America can
reclaim its leadership in the automotive industry. Schwarzenegger
asserted
his desire that the Big 3 auto makers take more initiative
in alternative
energy solutions that are good for the country. The Governor
also stated
that he was pleased with Ronn Motor Company for creating
new jobs and
opportunities for California.
Ronn Maxwell, CEO of Ronn Motors, stated, "We are very humbled
and excited
that the Governor has expressed a real enthusiasm in the
technologies that
we have developed, as well as his interest in potentially
purchasing a
Scorpion(TM). We'd like nothing more than this icon of pop
culture and
politics to be a Scorpion(TM) owner and are looking forward
to a long term
relationship with Governor Schwarzenegger."
The Scorpion will feature Ronn’s new and exclusive hydrogen fuel
injection (HFI) fuel delivery system. The system provides hydrogen on
demand, which is injected directly into the motor. This alternative
fuel approach allows the company to increase fuel mileage between 20% -
40% and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to nearly zero.
Headquartered in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Ronn Motor Company,
Inc. is a design
and manufacturing company focused on the leading edge engineering
of
environmentally friendly, finely built premium automobiles
and technology.
These systems include Hydrogen Fuel, Fuel cells, and Plug
in-electrics.
These features, coupled with RMC's core values of a strong
sense of ethics,
environmental sensitivity and premium quality, positions
the Company as one
of the new leaders in an automotive industry transitioning
toward fuel
efficiency. For more information, please visit www.ronnmotors.com.
