Mission Motors Brings High-Performance EV Technology to OEM Market

Launches MissionEVT Division at SEMA 2010

LAS VEGAS, NV – November 2, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire)  Today at the 2010 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association Show (SEMA),  Mission Motors, a San Francisco based company best known for high-performance electric motorcycles, unveiled Mission Electric Vehicle Technology (MissionEVT), the company’s high-performance EV Powertrain Division.

MissionEVT will design and supply high performance EV powertrains, including energy storage systems, drive systems and software intelligence, to the OEM market. The division will also offer engineering and integration services.

“Mission Motors has made tremendous strides in innovating electric powertrain technology,” said Jit Bhattacharya, Mission Motors’ CEO.  ”With MissionEVT, our company will be able to expand into new markets, bringing the advances we have made in EV technology to multiple vehicle platforms and manufacturers. This creates a tremendous high-volume opportunity for Mission’s powertrain technology, while solving a critical need for vehicle manufacturers trying to keep pace with the rapid electrification of vehicles.”

MissionEVT is the result of Mission Motors’ work to develop its high-performance electric motorcycle, the Mission One PLE superbike.  Because existing technology could not meet the speed, range, packaging and dynamic requirements of a truly high-performance electric motorcycle, the company developed new technologies in battery systems, motor control, and vehicle software management. These innovations made significant improvements to the weight, size, and modularity of these core electric vehicle components.

“Modularity is key to the MissionEVT solution,” says Bhattacharya.  ”It gives us the flexibility to improve the performance of a wide range of vehicle applications.  MissionEVT can configure our powertrain technology to work for applications ranging from powersports to automotive, and from battery electric to gasoline hybrid.”

Over the past year, Mission Motors has launched multiple partnerships to integrate its advanced powertrain technology into a variety of vehicles. The launch of MissionEVT represents a formal offering of Mission’s technologies and engineering services to major vehicle manufacturers.

US Highland Signs Two Master Regional Dealerships

GLENPOOL, OK – September 16, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – US Highland, Inc. (OTCBB: UHLN), a U.S. based designer and manufacturer of high performance, premium quality Motocross, Supermoto, Quad and Enduro motorcycles, announced today that the Company has signed two regional master dealers covering the mid-west region.

The Company’s strategy is to build a network of 10 regional or master dealerships that sell, develop and support territorially defined dealerships within their region. A major benefit to the dealers, besides superior quality and performance of Highland motorcycles, is that the bikes are custom fit for each customer, which is combined with a normal two week factory delivery eliminating the need of inventory. Highland dealers need only a limited number of bikes for demonstration purposes. Without extensive inventory need, flooring costs are dramatically reduced, creating enhanced cash management and credit risk reduction and impacting the gross margin of each Highland product sold.

Darin Long, Chief Operating Officer of US Highland, Inc. stated, “We are very pleased to be regaining our stride since the July air crash tragedy. Highland Regional Dealers are key to our distribution and support model. Each one will serve on the Highland Dealer Board helping us create a better customer distribution, service and support model. We receive many new dealer inquiries daily that will now be delivered to our Regional Dealers for dealership development and expansion. New dealer interest is well balanced across the country and continues to exceed our expectations.”

George Smith, VP of Sales & Marketing, said, “This is a huge leap forward for us and I am thrilled that we have made such a tremendous step in a positive direction. Our Regional Dealers will be able to provide an additional sales platform for our sponsorship products. Currently, we are in discussion with oil companies; insurance companies; soft drink companies and clothing lines for prospective sponsorship. This is a wonderful opportunity for all parties involved.”

Kurt King, Senior Marketing Agent for Dealer Services and Promotions, commented, “I am excited to assist these motorcycle enthusiasts who have great entrepreneurial vision. I congratulate them for their courage to put forth investment and leadership into the future of the power sports Industry.” King also went on to say, “US Highland brings cutting edge technologies and marketing concepts to the power sports public.”

US Highland Enters Into Discussions for Technology Licensure

TULSA, OK – August 31, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – US Highland (OTCBB: UHLN) announced today that management has entered a definitive agreement with a nationally distributed USA boat manufacturer for the licensure of Highland motor technology and for the manufacture of engines by US Highland. Discussions involve a potential multi-year agreement that would extend US Highland’s industry and product diversification. The anticipated contracts could boost US Highland’s revenue stream exponentially over the next three years.

Chief Executive Officer Steven Moel states, “A central element to our business model is to leverage our core technology and brand into as many market segments as possible thereby increasing brand recognition and value. We believe that our proven motor platform has a broader market appeal than only the motorcycle and quad arena. In expanding our reach into other markets, we consider marine applications of our technology are a natural fit, especially when you consider our Swedish/Viking roots. Pursuant to our licensing practice and ongoing business development, we have entered into discussions with a national aluminum boat manufacturer. We expect to conclude our discussions and negotiate a license agreement with our potential partner within the next sixty days. The contemplated license will be for our engines which will be offered in their product line. Our licensee is well positioned within a market in which sales exceeded $400 million in 2009, and which supports a large aftermarket that includes retrofits and outboard upgrades. Our intention is to offer companies who have need and appetite for stronger performance in their product line to fill those needs with a new innovative and dynamic resource at highly competitive prices.”

US Highland, Inc. is a US based designer and manufacturer of high performance, premium quality Motocross, Supermoto, Quad and Enduro motorcycles. Highland’s remarkably light, robust and powerful engine platform has drawn the attention of several significant global brands. Patented unique engine and fuel system designs are part of the growing suite of Highland IP being created through the R & D efforts of the company.

XR1200X™ takes Sportster® performance to a new level

Milwaukee (June 3, 2010) – The XR1200X is Harley-Davidson® Sportster performance honed to its finest edge. Introduced in 2010 for export markets only, the XR1200X will be available through Harley-Davidson dealers in the United States as a 2011 model. Equipped with fully-adjustable Showa® front and rear suspension components, the 2011 XR1200X can be dialed in to match rider weight, riding style and road conditions. The XR1200X combines this premium suspension with enhanced front brakes and the responsive punch of a high-compression, 1200cc Evolution® V-Twin engine in a dynamic, street-performance motorcycle.

With a tank and tail section designed to evoke the legendary Harley-Davidson XR750 – the king of the gritty American flat-track scene – the XR1200X puts its mechanical character on display. Wide flat-track bars and rearset footpegs position an assertive rider for active control. The XR1200X has a blacked-out powertrain and exhaust, revised tank graphics, and black wheels with an orange rim pinstripe. The XR1200X will be offered in two colors: Black Denim and White Hot Denim.

Key XR1200X Features

• Showa Big Piston Front fork (BPF) eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, resulting in lighter overall fork weight. The large-diameter of the BPF internal piston allows a reduction in damping pressure for outstanding feedback and smooth action. Rebound and compression damping may be fine tuned with adjuster screws located on top of the fork bolts. The spring pre-load is adjusted with a M5 hex screw on the axle holders.
• Showa rear shocks feature 36mm pistons with piggy-back nitrogen charged reservoirs. The compression damping may be adjusted with a knob on top of the reservoir. Rebound is adjusted with a thumb wheel on the lower clevis. Rear spring pre-load is also adjustable.

• Nissin® dual front brakes feature 292mm full-floating rotors and four-piston calipers.
• Isolation-mounted XL Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine with black powdercoat finish features downdraft Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), high-performance camshafts, precision oil-cooled cylinder heads and a large-capacity oil cooler. Compression ratio is 10:1.  The engine is rated at 74 ft. lbs. peak torque @ 4000 rpm (per SAE J1349).
• Upswept, high-volume 2-1-2 straight-shot exhaust system with satin black finish offers extra cornering clearance.
• Chassis features a high-performance designed tubular mild steel frame. The rigid, cast-aluminum swingarm is engineered to enhance handling.
• Dunlop® Qualifier D209 tires were designed specifically for the XR1200X.
• Three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, 18-inch front / 17-inch rear, are finished in gloss black with an orange pinstripe on the rim.
• Wide, black dirt-track handlebar for enhanced steering leverage and comfort.
• Rearset foot pegs for additional cornering clearance.
• Compact instrument display with white-faced analog tachometer, digital speedometer, dual trip meter and clock.
• 3.5-gallon fuel tank with aircraft-style aluminum alloy fuel filler.
• 29.2-inch seat height with standard passenger pillion and foot pegs.
• Optional Harley-Davidson Smart Security System.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company produces heavyweight custom, cruiser and touring motorcycles and offers a complete line of Harley-Davidson motorcycle parts, accessories, riding gear and apparel, and general merchandise. For more information, visit Harley-Davidson’s Web site at www.h-d.com/xr1200x.
