At a media event held yesterday at the AM General assembly location in Livonia, MI, Azure and its partners announced that the initial Transit Connect Electric (TCE) vans with Azure's ForceDrive drive train are on schedule and ready to ship as planned. The media guests were impressed with the partnerships' ability to bring the TCE to market just 13 months after the initial collaboration was announced. This speed to market underscored AZD engineering know-how and the flexibility of the ForceDrive EV powertrain.
As part of the event, Ron Iacobelli, chief technology officer, and Curt Huston, chief operating officer, discussed the TCE's technology and key drivers propelling the EV market in Azure's direction. NBC, ABC, and Fox affiliates, various radio stations and many print and on-line media journalists participated in the event. Following are a selection of print articles for your review.
