About Vision Industries Corp

Vision is a developer of zero emission hydrogen fuel cell/electric powered vehicles and will be providing fueling solutions by building, owning and operating hydrogen fueling stations. Vision's proprietary hydrogen fuel cell / electric drive system combines the superior acceleration of a battery powered electric vehicle with the extended range provided by a hydrogen fuel cell. Vision is the creator of the TyranoTM, the world's first hybrid electric/hydrogen fuel cell-powered heavy duty class 8 truck, featuring: zero emissions, reduced operating cost and superior performance. Vision is also in prototype development of the CheetahTM, which is intended to be the world's first hydrogen fuel cell/ plug-in electric-powered  supercar, featuring: zero emissions, accelerating 0 to 60 MPH faster than production Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and the battery powered Tesla


Competitive Advantage

The Vision heavy-duty class trucks are substantially less expensive to operate on a per mile basis than diesel and natural gas powered trucks, the cost savings on a per mile basis versus diesel and natural gas, is expect to range from 35% to 45%.Our Vision hydrogen/electric drive system has 536 HP and 3,300 ft/lb of torque available; almost double the pulling power of a conventional diesel truck.


Target Market

Due to the ports of Los Angles and Long Beach's Clean Truck Program that offers cash incentives for the replacement of older dirty diesel trucks and the proximity and availability of low cost hydrogen, Vision is targeting truck fleet operators that haul goods from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles for the initial sales of our zero emission trucks. Based on discussion with the Ports we anticipate sizable buying incentives to be applied against Vision's truck's MSRP. Additionally a federal tax credit of $40,000 is currently available to further incentives the purchase of our truck. Based on our trucks zero emissions and their operating efficiencies, we believe, that we offer a compelling solution for the Port's Clean Air Program's intent of reducing air pollution.


Current Production Status

We are currently conducting final testing with our test truck mule housed at Vision's El Segundo R&D facilities and we have received orders for limited demonstrations and testing of pre-production versions of our truck. Our proprietary fuel cell/electric powered drive systems will reach the market place through L.A. Freightliner and other truck dealerships.

(Note: Vision uses major component suppliers and vehicle manufactures as partners or sub contractors to produce its vehicles. This business approach allows Vision to be capital efficient and avoids massive outlays of startup capital).

  • About Hydrogen as a fuel: Hydrogen is the answer to our long-term clean energy demands. When produced with renewable resources, the resulting "Green" hydrogen is truly environmentally harmless and sustainable. Hydrogen is carbon free and is naturally the most abundant solution to our energy crisis. A hydrogen fuel cell converts 1 kg of hydrogen into approximately 19KWh of electricity and all hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are electric powered.

 

  • Battery vs. Hydrogen: Hydrogen is the most efficient energy storage medium on a pound for pound basis.
