Malcolm Bricklin

Bricklin sees the revolutionary product as an answer to the woes of the auto industry brought about by global financial crisis. He sees it as an opportunity for dealers to pick up the rubbles and rebuild, and for the industry as a whole to create manufacturing jobs.

He was the prime mover of bringing cars from Yugo vehicles, Fiat, and Subaru to the display rooms in the United States in the 1990s.

Visionary Vehicles also negotiated with Chery Auto of China in 2006 for a distribution right of their cars in the US market. The strict safety guidelines in the US were a major wall faced by the negotiations.

Malcolm Bricklin is suggesting the purchase of around 300000 brand new units from Chrysler and GM and customizing them with the hydrogen hybrid engine.

The specifics of the technology that will be used by Bricklin have never been disclosed to the public. The businessman though boasts of a product which can boost the fuel efficiency of a vehicle by as much as 100%.

Bricklin has announced that he will have a working model of the hydrogen hybrid car in the next three months. Whether the consumers will accept the new concept is still a big question since hydrogen technology is considered as an impractical choice for mainstream transport use.

It will be a wait and see game if Bricklin and his team can come up with the product that they claim to be the lifesaver of America’s auto industry.
