Significant investments from major venture capital firms, a half-billion dollar conditional loan from the U.S. government and the establishment of a global network of independent retailers highlight the new American automaker’s rapid growth. Since its founding in August 2007 Fisker Automotive has:
Assembled a team of auto industry veterans with more than 200 years of collective experience;
Established global headquarters in Irvine, Calif., and an engineering facility in Pontiac, Mich.;
Partnered with Tier 1 automotive suppliers and applied for more than 50 patents;
Been awarded a $528.7 million U.S. Department of Energy conditional loan; and
Announced Project Nina, the development of an affordable, family-oriented plug-in hybrid for 2012 that will ultimately create more than 5,000 U.S. jobs, the company states.
“What we’ve achieved in two short years is unprecedented,” says Henrik Fisker, co-founder and CEO, Fisker Automotive. “Fisker Automotive has laid the foundation for the next generation car company. We look forward to delivering to consumers eco-friendly vehicles that don’t compromise power, style or performance.”
In third quarter 2010 Fisker Automotive will begin delivering Karma plug-in hybrids to appointed retailers and distributors worldwide, less than 36 months after the concept car first appeared at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2008.
