Avion And the Progressive Automotive X-Prize
The time is right for the Progressive Automotive X-Prize and the Avion project is ready to compete. We have restored the original Avion, installed a new motor and have tested the car at 60 miles per hour averaging over 100 miles per gallon on diesel.
We are tooling up for the next Avion and will have a new Avion for the competition in 2010. We have set records for fuel economy in the past and we are confident that we will be a strong contender for winning the prize.
Will the Avion be available for purchase? We sure hope so and the X-Prize is one of the perfect ways to make that happen. So win or lose we may all win with the advancement of fun, safe and clean 100 mile per gallon cars.
Sponsorship
Craig Henderson and Bullfrog Boats sponsor the Avion project. We have received tires from Goodyear Tire and Canton Bandag Company. We are seeking additional corporate or personal sponsorship with the goal of winning the Progressive Automotive X-prize and making the Avion for production.
