Partners
From the start, Bright Automotive sought out like-minded partners who understand what it takes to be a vehicle for change in a changing world.
Founding Partners
In January 2008, Bright Automotive launched from Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) to build on the work of a consortium of visionary organizations, including Alcoa, Google.org, Johnson Controls and the Turner Foundation. Together we mapped a plan to tackle the challenges of our economy, air pollution and diminishing oil supplies.
Industry Partners
At Bright Automotive, we have achieved groundbreaking results by leveraging the best ideas in the industry to design our revolutionary vehicle. Top suppliers are signed on to provide everything we need to move to production quickly.
Vehicle Customer Partners
We involved our future customers in the development process, listening to their needs and critiques to create a vehicle that works for them. We even brought these corporate leaders back to critique and validate that our design matched their input during a customer event in April 2009. Some future customers liked our business plan and philosophy so much that they have turned into investors, as well. Learn more about the customer event...
Engineering Customer Partners
We formed Bright eSolutions to share our expertise and technological breakthroughs with others. We partner with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to implement sustainable, efficient solutions that meet their transportation needs. Contact us to discuss putting our engineering expertise to work for you.
Smart Grid Partners
Not only does Bright Automotive's vehicle make the most of electric power—it is also compatible with the future rollout of Smart Grid technology. Intelligent vehicle-to-grid interaction promises to help meet energy demands while reducing transportation's impact on the environment. To maximize its potential benefits for American businesses and consumers, we formed a coalition of future customers, government, utility companies, automotive Tier 1 suppliers and industry experts committed to improving our nation's energy infrastructure.
Strategic Financial Partners
Financial partners have invested with us from the moment Bright Automotive began, validating the strength of our business plan. To continue building momentum needed to transform the automotive industry, Bright Automotive is collaborating with mission-minded stakeholders both in and out of the energy sector to advance the progress of fully integrated and efficient energy systems.
