Birmingham, MI October 28, 2006

Michigan Entrepreneur is a weekly television talk show featuring businesses from start-up to stellar. The program for the Weeks of November 13th and 20th features Richard Marks, president of EnVironmental Transportation Solutions, LLC.

Marks, a former General Motors engineer, is the inventor of the EcoV, an electric vehicle that promises to be the next generation LSV (low speed vehicle). In the past few years, he built his own company, based in Detroit, Michigan, to manufacture this economical vehicle, which will offer many benefits to individual consumers, company fleet operations, not to mention the environment.

“This program is one of the most memorable. Marks is engaging, his product is phenomenal, and the implications of his EcoV for our lifestyle and our environment are significant,” says Tara Kachaturoff, producer and host of Michigan Entrepreneur. “I’ve been aware of his company for the past couple of years, so it was really a wonderful opportunity to have Richard Marks on the program to discuss his important contributions in the realm eco-friendly automotive engineering.

The “EcoV is a unique, fun, and practical vehicle. It is pure electric and very economical to own and operate. It has been designed to be very easy and convenient to operate – plug and play. Designed to be almost maintenance free. It is very reconfigurable to provide a multitude of uses out of a single vehicle. It has taken all the great attributes of golf carts, current LSV’s (low speed vehicle), and highway vehicles to come up with a new product that is neither a golf cart nor a highway vehicle, but rather the next generation LSV.” (source: http://www.ecovelectric.com/)
