- As it prepares for next week's final competition for the $10 million Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize, local electric vehicle converter
AMP Holdings Inc.is planning to establishing a sales and service network among General Motors dealers.
AMP officials say they have retained a former GM executive, Mark Valerio, as a consultant to develop its dealer network.
"As we move forward with a GM car to sell, it makes sense we have GM dealers do the sales and service," said Steve Burns, AMP's CEO.
Launched in 2007 to convert gas-powered vehicles to all-electric drive, AMP (originally Advanced Mechanical Products) has done conversions of Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice sports cars. It recently began converting Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to all-electric drives.
At GM, Valerio was involved in dealer network development, real estate image management and dealer franchising for GM brands in the Northeast.
Burns, one of AMP's founders, said he couldn't disclose the number of GM dealers it hopes to recruit or timing for the effort.
