THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT…
Dutchman Enterprises can now announce that the initial meeting with representatives of Ford motor Company went very well and both parties are excited about testing the HAFC and PICC and for the potential for improving fuel economy for American automobiles. The initial reaction of the Ford team involved was excitement and enthusiasm over the potential of both the HAFC and PICC. Discussions have begun about both companies partnering together to further develop these technologies.
Note to all UCSA dealers and their associates:
The above official statement is the ONLY thing that you are allowed to tell the public about what is happening between Dutchman Enterprises and Ford at this time. As the various phases of testing are achieved there will be updates to this statement. We are proceeding with caution so both companies are sure this is to our mutual advantage. Ford is a public company and has a very complex corporate structure and Dutchman realizes that. Determining what company we will work with to bring this out is very important to our security and progress as well. The potential for relationship looks very good.
ON THE PHASE ONE TESTING…
Dutchman Enterprises received a letter on August 18th from an engineer that is heading the Ford team to test the HAFC. In that letter from the Dearborn Michigan HQ address, the engineer wrote, “the (HAFC) concept makes good sense…” and he also wrote, “We are also excited about the potential of the PICC technology.” Ford is testing this because to them it makes sense. Of course they are being cautious and diligent.
The executive who spoke with our dealers told us that Mr. Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company, was interviewed on CNBC on (September 12, 2008 one day before a Ford executive addressed our dealer network) when asked what direction Ford is going in… he told the reporter that there are some interesting things happening in the alternative fuels area. Hydrogen technologies involving water offer some incredible opportunities “ to do something with the engines we already have.” That is not a statement about Hydrogen Fuel Cells. In our opinion, that can ONLY mean water gas injection. Caution: We have not confirmed that this is what Mr. Mulally actually said, but we do know that he is involved in the process of evaluating the Hydro-Assist Fuel Cells.
