FRANKFORT, KY--(Marketwire - May 1, 2009) - Ewire -- Green Star Products, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS : GSPI ) announced today that within the next four weeks it plans
to publicly test its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
The demonstration will take place in Corbin, Kentucky, where the vehicle
will be test driven and evaluated by industry representatives. The plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle will be driven on a simulated city driving test
route. The company expects to demonstrate that during an eight hour
delivery day simulation this plug-in hybrid vehicle can exceed 150 miles
while exhibiting an efficiency of over 75 mpg (miles per gallon).
Earlier this month, Green Star Products along with its International
Consortium partner Global Green Cars had publicly tested its full electric
vehicle version at tracks in Utah and Kentucky. Global Green Cars is a
U.S. and International Consortium of automobile companies and associated
supply companies which includes Green Star Products as an engineering and
technology provider.
The previous successful public demonstrations incorporated test drives for
a variety of people including legislators, government officials, race car
drivers and other interested parties. Please see press release "Successful
