LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimate Sports, Inc. (Pink Sheets:USPS), a manufacturer and supplier to the recreational vehicle industry, announced today that the company plans to engage several electrical and computer engineers from Purdue University to aid in the design and creation of the intricate electronic components of the upcoming green vehicle.
USI's "green machine" is an all around vehicle that has abundant storage space, yet is small enough to fit through standard 32 inch wide doorways. The scooter is geared towards police, security, vending, racing, towing and pushing; however, there are several other uses as well. Units are expected to be in production by the spring of 2010.
Purdue University is one of the world's top-renowned schools of engineering. Purdue has graduated more women engineers than any other university. In addition, one in fifty engineers in the U.S. has been trained at Purdue (Source: www.purdue.edu).
Kevin Metheny, President of Ultimate Sports, states, "I am looking forward to working with the engineering students from Purdue on the 'green machine' project. Purdue's distinguished reputation for turning out engineers is remarkable. I believe that with their help, we can create the most advanced electric-powered green vehicle on the market today."
