Protean Electric is primed to capitalize on this significant growth opportunity; the company has been developing and refining its IWM technology for the past 12 years and is meeting the market with a reliable, tested solution ready for massive deployment. In addition to Local Motors, Protean is currently deeply engaged with four major <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">automotive<\/a> OEMs.<\/p>\n<p>The accelerating climate crisis further underscores the urgent need to transition to BEVs; because road transportation is estimated to account for approximately 17 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, the electrification of the <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">automotive<\/a> industry could drive a significant, positive impact in the battle against climate change2. The Local Motors\/Protean Electric p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>nership represents a critical proof point for the reduction in carbon per passenger mile, offering an alternative autonomous transport solution that improves mobility for all of society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be building on our alliance with Local Motors, enabling them to rapidly scale deployments of Olli 2.0,\u201d said Andrew Whitehead, CEO, Protean Electric. \u201cThis new deal not only reinforces Local Motors\u2019 commitment to the ProteanDrive IWM solution but offers important industry validation that the technology is mature, reliable, scalable, and delivers the cost and performance needed to address the massive acceleration in electric <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle<\/a> adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/local-motors-and-protean-electric-extend-partnership-to-power-olli-evs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
