Atlis says investments in alternative fuels and hydrogen should be minimized

Atlis Motor Vehicles released the following statement after the Biden-Harris administration issued the first-ever U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, developed by the US departments of Energy, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency outlining plans to decarbonize transportation nationwide. Mark Hanchett, Atlis Motor Vehicles’ Founder and CEO, said: "After reviewing the Blueprint, we believe investments in alternative fuels and hydrogen should be minimized, and more focus should be placed on proven technologies with tremendous growth potential. Additional resources should be concentrated toward funding companies in industries focused on the development of cleaner heavy equipment, especially for those in rural communities across America. The team at Atlis Motor Vehicles would be happy to discuss such innovative recommendations with officials, as Atlis is committed to increasing the nation’s energy security, improving public health, and advancing the administration’s clean transportation agenda." "The Government plays an important role in fostering environments in which businesses may thrive and develop cutting-edge solutions to push our nation forward in its quest to decarbonize and become energy independent. Hopefully, this blueprint will successfully drive attention and resources towards the advancement of new technology, though I believe this effort should be led from the private sector."
