Скачать или смотреть Changing How We Think About Transportation | Paul Elio | TEDxDetroit

In 2008, as gas prices spikes and employment dropped entrepreneur Paul Elio was developing a solution. He designed a $6,800 three-wheel vehicle that would get up to 84 MPG, built in America. Elio Motors, on track to launch in 2016, is changing the way Americans think about transportation. The company will create jobs, reduce dependence on foreign oil and provide vehicles to those who otherwise couldn’t afford one.

Paul Elio is founder and CEO of Elio Motors. He dreamed of owning his own car company since he was eight years old. After graduating from Kettering University, he launched a successful 40-person firm helping automakers with their engineering challenges. But Elio still yearned to own a car company. With the auto industry struggling in 2008, he decided there had to be a better way and Elio Motors was born.
