San Franciscans brace yourselves for a new generation of Plug-in Hybrid SUVs!

AFS Trinity Power Corporation will demonstrate its breakthrough 150 MPG Plug-in Hybrid SUVs in San Francisco tomorrow at the invitation of SB California (www.smallbusinesscalifornia.org) and the Washington, D.C. based Center for Small Business and the Environment in response to President Barack Obama's challenge to make job creation and independence from oil America's top priorities.

Business, government and environmental leaders all had a chance to test drive the two prototype SUV's today next to Civic Center Park at Fulton Street across from the San Francisco Public Library. Tomorrow from 9 to 11.30 am, the public will have the opportunity to do the same.
 

"The AFS Trinity technology serves the two top priorities that President Obama outlined in his address to Congress on February 25. We believe AFS Trinity’s Extreme Hybrid is the kind of breakthrough innovation the Administration and the country is looking for to create jobs and make possible independence from oil.” 

said Byron Kennard, President of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Small Business and the Environment.

Each of the XH150S SUVs being demonstrated in San Francisco  is a prototype of a mass-producible family-sized SUV that can go the first 40 miles each day on an overnight charge with terrific acceleration and up to a top speed of 90 miles per hour. For an average family traveling about 340 miles in a week of normal driving, their weekly gas consumption will drop to less than two gallons. For some families who travel less than 40 miles daily, a trip to the gas station could become a once every three months event.

Hank Ryan, Executive Director of Small Business California, speaking in the interest of  California 's 3.2 million small businesses, said that the AFS Trinity Extreme Hybrid was the way to reopen closed auto plants, jump start American car sales and put Americans back to work.
