Can 3-Wheeled Vehicle at $6,800 and 84 mpg Change American Driving?
Elio Motors, according to the company, isn’t just building a new vehicle.
It’s attempting to create an entirely new transportation category that will change how consumers think about their daily commutes, create more than 1,500 American jobs and help reduce the country’s dependence on foreign oil.
“Our high-mileage, low-cost vehicle is causing people to rethink how we approach transportation in the United States,” said Paul Elio, the company’s founder.
“Many consumers buy vehicles based on the premise that they need to haul their entire family around,” he noted.
But, on a typical commute to work, he cites large vehicles as being inefficient for just one person – the driver – onboard.
The Elio Motors 3-wheeled vehicle is slated for production in 2015, will have a sticker price of $6,800, will achieve 84 miles per gallon fuel efficiency and is engineered for an anticipated 5-Star Crash Test Safety Rating.
Thus far, the company has taken nearly 11,000 reservations at its web site ranging from $100 to $1,000. A non-refundable reservation provides customers with an additional discount worth 50 percent of the initial deposit.
