Echo Automotive Inc., a company that offers aftermarket plug-in hybrid-electric solutions for fleet vehicles, has rolled out EchoAccelerate, a program focused on intellectual property (IP) licensing.
Echo Automotive says the program ‘gives companies a unique opportunity to access patented and patent-pending automotive technologies, intellectual properties and trade secrets developed by veteran OEM automotive engineers and electrification pioneers.’
‘EchoAccelerate offers companies an easy way to license innovative technology that complements or supplements their products and in-house capability by giving them access to millions of dollars in R&D, a rich IP portfolio and extensive electrification expertise,’ explains Jason Plotke, Echo Automotive chairman and president.
According to the company, EchoAccelerate helps other firms reduce research and development time and costs, while also enabling Echo to extend its aftermarket solutions and electrification technologies to the global fleet vehicle market.
