FEV GmbH Orders 12 UQM PowerPhase Systems for European Vehicle Program

FEV GmbH has ordered twelve UQM PowerPhase electric propulsion systems for a European vehicle program. Last fiscal year, FEV unveiled a Dodge Caliber-based range extended electric concept vehicle (ReEV) powered by a UQM PowerPhase propulsion system and generator at the 2009 SAE World Congress.

FEV also recently ordered UQM PowerPhase systems for use on dynamometer test stands in its hybrid electric vehicle test center under construction in Auburn Hills, Mich.

“FEV and other vehicle integrators continue to provide a significant marketing channel for our electric propulsion systems into vehicle platforms worldwide and we expect these organizations will have a substantial role in the development and commercialization of electric and hybrid electric vehicles for their automotive customers over the coming years.
