Fitzgerald Auto Malls Offering New Plug-in Hybrid Conversion Systems


WASHINGTON, Oct 28, 2008 (ASCRIBE NEWS via COMTEX) --
Fitzgerald Auto Malls has been selected as one of only six car dealers
in the US to offer exclusive Hymotion L5 Plug-In Prius Conversion
Modules from A123Systems.
The modules allow the dealership to convert Prius hybrid vehicles into
plug-in hybrids capable of 150+ MPG.
"We are excited to offer our customers more options to help moderate
the effects of high fuel costs," said Fitzgerald Auto Malls Chairman
and Founder Jack Fitzgerald. "The Hymotion Plug-in conversion option is
one of the latest and best options I've seen come along. Alternative
fuel vehicles and increasing the fuel efficiency of automobiles are the
future of the industry."
A123Systems officially announced that Fitzgerald Auto Malls was
selected as a Certified Hymotion Installation Partner (CHIP) in June.
There's been tremendous customer response.


"The (Hymotion) pack is doing great," said A123 conversion customer Jay
Groh. "I can constantly get 200+ MPG or more on my normal commute to
work and back. Of course my commute to work is about 11 miles so that
helps out a lot."
Fitzgerald was chosen as a Green CHIP dealer based on their support of
environmental initiatives, strong customer service and their commitment
to introducing advanced vehicle technologies.
