Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard Test Drives EchoDrive™ from Echo Automotive (ECAU)

The Mayor of the 11th Largest City in the United States hails EchoDrive™ technology during his test drive. "There is a bridge and I always told people the plug-in is the bridge technology that can really get people accustomed to this."

Mayor Greg Ballard states "It's Amazing!"

The Mayor of Indianapolis just commissioned nearly 500 of the city's fleet vehicles to be replaced by electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles... and one of his first orders of business was to test drive Echo Automotive's revolutionary EchoDrive™ plug-in hybrid solution.

The city of Indianapolis plans to completely transition its current 3,100-vehicle fleet to post-oil alternatives in the near future. Indianapolis already has been recognized by Toyota, Ford and the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the top communities for deployment of plug-in vehicles and charging stations with more than 200 charging stations installed across Central Indiana...

And with Indianapolis spearheading this initiative, how long until other cities and states follow suit?

The window of opportunity is closing by the minute. If you haven't read my new report, take the time to read below. I am recommending you act quickly! Opportunities like this do not present themselves often and they disappear in an instant.

Yours in Profitable Investing,

Echo Automotive (ECAU) closes in
on a $250 billion market that
nobody owns!

Echo Automotive (ECAU) may be the first to enter this space with a revolutionary new hybrid drive retrofit. When it does, ECAU could soar past 500% gains this year!

Echo Automotive (ECAU) is an immediate buy. Move in today at around $1.00... I see it trading between $5 and $10 in 2013!

Echo Automotive shatters a decade-old price barrier to become the first company into a wide-open $250B market!
FedEx and UPS (to name a few) have been scrambling after this technology for a decade. Now they can have it!
With the EchoDrive retrofit, 35 million commercial vehicles on American roadways can be converted to hybrid.
This is a ground floor opportunity with enormous growth potential!

To the Opportunity-Seeking Investor:

A few months ago, I discovered a start-up company preparing to market a remarkable new product; a retrofit hybrid drive for delivery fleets that could double an existing truck's fuel efficiency, literally overnight.

As I dug into the details, I was so impressed by what I learned, I flew to company headquarters to learn more.

On my return, I couldn't get this report published fast enough.

Their EchoDrive hybrid module is nothing short of an engineering masterpiece.

My conclusion was simple.
ECAU could become a $10 stock in 2013.

I urge you to follow up on this as soon as you can...this easily ranks as one of the best tech investments I've seen in my career.

The technology is EchoDrive™ from Echo Automotive (ECAU), a bolt-on hybrid drive system that converts an ordinary gas or diesel truck to electric drive, while retaining the full functionality of its original gasoline or diesel drivetrain.

The EchoDrive conversion:
10 mpg to 20 mpg overnight!

For more than a decade now, major fleet operators like FedEx and UPS have been field-testing hybrid-drive electric vehicles, but they couldn't break the cost barrier that made hybrid-drive conversion economical.

With per-vehicle conversion bordering on six-figures, cost recovery could easily exceed a vehicle's life-cycle. Hybrid drive had a ways to go before it could achieve fleet-wide deployment. Guess what, we're here.

From what I’ve learned, Echo Automotive should be first to break the cost barrier that makes a hybrid-drive retrofit an economic no-brainer.

By doubling a vehicle’s fuel economy, EchoDrive can hit full return-on-investment in two to three years.

Echo Automotive reports that EchoDrive as much as doubles a vehicle’s fuel economy, converting a stock 10 mpg truck to a 15-20 mpg truck literally overnight! For a fleet of vehicles racking up multimillion- dollar annual fuel bills, this is a game-changing technological breakthrough!

This is an ideal opportunity for every investor. Conservative investors can move on ECAU and lock in a long-term ten-fold profit opportunity. Aggressive investors looking for quick profit could triple their money by mid-year. After visiting the company last month, I’m convinced that both scenarios can play out for you... if you act immediately.

Few people even know about Echo Automotive; at this stage it’s totally off-radar. Don’t expect that to last. From what I’ve seen on location and in my research, Echo

Automotive is about to break loose in a very big way. ECAU now sells under a buck (73¢ to be precise). I have no expectation that my report will get to you before ECAU starts its run up, but even if you are looking at a $1.00 buy, I wouldn’t hesitate.

With the 2013 marketing plans management showed me, ECAU could readily hit $5 to $10 by mid-year. But hang on for another year and ECAU, could be selling in the $20 to $30 range!

ECAU is on track to hit a $750 million market cap in 2013... that could yield $9,000 profit from $1,000 invested in ECAU today!

While the potential for quick gains is impressive, the long-term prospects for ECAU share price growth can be life-changing.

Management is on record for immediately targeting an entry-level domestic market opportunity of $250 billion. Longer term, the numbers soar.

Given a few years of market penetration, ECAU could readily become a multi-billion company climbing to the $20 to $30 range without breaking a sweat.

The immediate market opportunity for EchoDrive conversions is huge.

FedEx alone could account for $240+ million
in orders!

Bring in UPS, the Postal Service, beverage and food delivery fleets, phone and utility service vehicles, etc.; it’s easy to forecast that the initial market for the EchoDrive retrofit holds staggering sales potential!

Worldwide sales, which I see as inevitable, could make ECAU stock the most profitable in your lifetime, similar to the growth that investors reaped from early-entry positions in companies like Apple, Microsoft, etc.

Echo Automotive’s first-to-market advantage can lock in an unbeatable fast-growth market position.

By the time any potential competitors come to market, Echo Automotive should have its #1 position firmly established.

Thus, if this goes as I anticipate... I see no significant downside risk to Echo Automotive in 2013 that should prevent an aggressive investor from taking at least a modest position in ECAU today.

That said, I’ll be the first to acknowledge that every entry-level investment like this carries substantial risk of loss. You should only consider investing an amount you feel comfortable putting at risk.

However, in the same breath I can all but guarantee this:

You won’t find this kind of life changing profit potential in your typical low-risk investment. You have to swing for the bleachers and believe me, you’re getting a home-run-derby pitch here!

Later in this report I’ll provide a few more details about how the EchoDrive system works and how it broke the cost barrier that kept hybrid conversions in the “experimental” category. First, you should be aware of this...

...there is not a single comparable product I can find in the market today that poses a credible competitive challenge to EchoDrive technology.

The first to market advantage ranks at the top of my list as an enormous, perhaps insurmountable growth advantage for Echo Automotive.

With nothing in its way to market leadership, you may be seeing delivery trucks with “Powered by Echo-Drive” decals a lot sooner than you might think.

And if you’re a shareholder at that time, ECAU could be the biggest growth stock in your portfolio.

As of this report, few investors know what Echo Automotive is bringing to market. Don’t let them beat you to this.

I see nothing on the horizon that can prevent EchoDrive from achieving its market objectives, especially when you get to know the people behind Echo Automotive’s history dates back to $5 million in funding from General Motors (GM) and a brain-trust of geniuses behind the growth of electric-drive vehicles and advanced battery technologies.

This is a fascinating story that reinforces my commitment to ECAU as an immediate buy.

Right now, EchoDrive is at its fourth generation of development, ready for market rollout. That in and of itself is significant.

Even though Echo Automotive is a very young company, its product development history dates back years. EchoDrive is a direct spin off from an R&D program backed by an impressive roster of people and organizations wanting to get this technology rolling.

General Motors, Google.org, Alcoa and many others had a hand in getting EchoDrive started. Now, EchoDrive is ready to hit the highway, steered by many in the original brain trust!

The investment leads to EchoDrive Echo Automotive’s Chief Technology Officer, John Waters, who set the stage for EchoDrive as far back as 2007.

Since that time, millions have gone into the project under the direction of a cadre of major players in electric drive and battery technology.

What’s more, the build-up in EchoDrive technology was grounded in practical experience brought to the company by executives from FedEx and Tesla.

I met with John on my trip to company headquarters. It was clear to me that he has “pioneer” credentials in electric vehicle technology.

John was chief of GM’s EV-1 electric vehicle project and appears to have leveraged his experience and GM connections quite effectively.

Echo Automotive is a direct descendent of GM funding and still under technical direction of past GM engineers

When GM first funded the technology that would lead to the EchoDrive hybrid module, two of GM’s top electrical engineers (Bill Wylam and John Waters) jumped on board and remain with Echo Automotive today.

Jason Plotke, President
Former Tier 1 supplier of production parts for General Motors

John Waters, Chief Technology Officer
Chief Engineer for GM’s EV-1 Electric
Drive technology and founder of Delphi
Electronics lithium-ion battery division

Patrick Van Den Bosche,
COO and Managing Director
Fast growth specialist with stellar M&A credentials

Bill Wylam, Board of Advisors
A pioneer at GM of electric vehicle and advanced battery technology

John Formisano, Board of Advisors
Former FedEx world fleet operations and hybrid delivery van pioneer

Bill Wylam, a Chief Engineer in numerous GM projects, joined with John to direct the EchoDrive through the current company, Echo Automotive. The result?

Echo Automotive reports its EchoDrive technology is in its fourth generation of development, ready to market now!

That means you have little time left to grab a ground floor position in ECAU!

If you received this report early enough, you can load up on ECAU today at under $1.00... but don’t hesitate to load up on ECAU, even at $2.00.

With the market potential from a handful of key fleet operators like FedEx, ECAU could fly past $10.00
by mid-year!

Following its recently published marketing plan, Echo Automotive (ECAU) is set to begin marketing its EchoDrive retrofit hybrid drive technology to America’s top fleet operators.

From all appearances, this will be the first opportunity any of these companies will have for economically electrifying their existing fleets.

Top buyers already know the economics of hybrid drive vehicles. I believe most, if not all would switch to hybrid drives overnight, but the economics of replacing entire fleets makes it impossible.

Once again, it’s important to remember that the EchoDrive will be the first economical option fleet managers have for converting their fleets to hybrid drive.

Echo Automotive’s personnel holds the star power needed to attract industry attention.

Echo Automotive attracted a stellar crew of executives with deep roots in manufacturing and automotive technology. Among them are former heavyweights from automotive and fleet operations such as FedEx, Delco Remy, Amp Electric Vehicles, Tesla, Eaton Corp, Iveco, Isuzu, Delphi Electronics, and many other companies well known to industry insiders. Frankly, I’ve never seen a start-up with talent of this magnitude.

World-class facilities provide a cutting edge foundation for EchoDrive advanced R&D

Corporate headquarters are located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and tech facilities have been located in Anderson, Indiana close to key vendors supplying EchoDrive production components.


In addition to on-the-road performance testing, EchoDrive has been thoroughly evaluated using advanced dynamotor tests.

Battery cycling, which is key to long-term performance, has been thoroughly tested and optimized.

EchoDrive modules are married to a variety of performance management systems, including an energy recovery circuit that captures braking energy for battery recharge.

A key feature of EchoDrive technology is the modular battery design, which allows battery packs to be sized to the specific power requirements of any EcoDrive fitted vehicle.

On the competitive front, retrofit hybrids can be found from a number of companies, but all of them carry a price tag that can be five to seven times the price for an EchoDrive install.

Typical cost-of-installation for a hybrid retrofit can be $80,000 to $90,000! That puts the price of a converted delivery vehicle well into six-figures with no chance for economic payback.

I expect that most, if not all of the competitive companies will go under once Echo Automotive hits the market.

The economic benefits of EchoDrive are obvious.

With fuel savings that could pay for itself in the first 20,000 to 30,000 miles of operation (typically less than two years), initial sales for EchoDrive should be off the charts.

Simply put, EchoDrive technology demolishes cost barriers that up to now, made retrofit hybrids economically impossible.

I now fully expect America’s largest fleet operators to make EchoDrive the hybrid retrofit of choice for millions of light and medium-duty vehicles now operating throughout America.

In achieving this, ECAU shares will be looked upon as a screaming bargain right now.

This is why I see ECAU achieving $10 in 2013... with much more to follow in the years ahead!

ECAU could rival the best technology growth stories in recent memory, returning fortunes to those investors who grab a strong position while shares can still be had for under one dollar.

This is a company that has been virtually unknown to the public, but is ready to market what could be the most dramatic fuel saving breakthrough in automotive history.

ECAU could rocket past my first target of $5.00
at any time.

The stakes are enormous.

EchoDrive could quickly rise to become the “must have” technology for economical and cost-competitive fleet operations.

Billions of dollars are in play and today’s investor could earn a fortune off ECAU shares in the future.

In play are the billions of dollars spent on fuels by auto and truck fleet operators each year and a bolt-on electric drive system (EchoDrive™) from Echo Automotive that can change a 14 mpg vehicle to a 28 mpg vehicle overnight!

Think of the oil America will save should 11.6 million light and medium-duty trucks suddenly doubles the fuel efficiency for millions of delivery vehicles on the road now, and millions more to be delivered in the years ahead!

Dodge, Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Mercedes, GMC... name the brand and it could be retrofit with EchoDrive!

FedEx is already on this... and as I pointed out earlier, Echo Automotive has a FedEx senior executive on board!

FedEx CEO, Frederick Smith, has repeatedly made public his intention to steer FedEx to a 20% electrically powered delivery fleet within the next five years.

Load up on ECAU right now and get there first. FedEx has deep executive roots with Echo Automotive personnel and FedEx could quickly become Echo Automotive’s first major customer...bringing 16,000 vehicles from its fleet alone to EchoDrive’s market.

Coupled with Smith’s strong public advocacy for hybrid technology, FedEx’s initial fleet electrification objectives present an immediate $240 million opportunity for Echo Automotive.

Deployed across its entire 80,000 vehicle fleet, that opportunity swells past $1.2 billion!

When you add in America’s other 49 largest fleet operators... a 20% vehicle electrification opportunity adds up to a whopping $35 billion market!


Here are six key reasons why Echo Automotive could dominate its market and drive ECAU to ten-fold returns in 2013...

1 Short Term Return On Investment - EchoDrive installation could be recovered in two to three years of operations.
2 Modular Battery Pack - Battery costs can be limited to the capacity specifically required for a vehicle’s driving pattern.
4 Ability to Rapidly Scale - Echo Automotive plans allow it to quickly scale up producti0n to hundreds of thousands of units.
5 Broad Vehicle Deployment - Fleet operations can quickly upgrade a large variety of existing in-service vehicles to EchoDrive.
6 Low Risk to Fleet Operations - An EchoDrive vehicle will continue to run on its stock gas/diesel powertrain even in the unlikely event of an EchoDrive component failure.
7 EchoDrive can be portable - Echo Automotive modules can be moved from one vehicle to another, allowing fleet operators to quickly respond to service or vehicle changes.

This is a game-changing technology that could quickly propel Echo Automotive (ECAU) into triple-digit gains for today’s shareholder.

What’s more, EchoDrive is taking off now. It’s off the drawing boards, out of the lab and ready to market. I know because I drove an EchoDrive Ford van for myself!

Investment potential? Could it be any more obvious!?!

Again, do your own due diligence. See if it confirms what I’ve reported to you here. Then, get in contact with your broker and grab a position in ECAU right away.

Companies like Echo Automotive (ECAU) can be worth a fortune to an investor like you, but that’s not the only way you can load your portfolio with profit.
