Full statement from Paul Elio:
"It is our intention at Elio Motors to make Louisiana our home. The region provides a world-class manufacturing facility and workforce with which to build our low-cost highly fuel efficient commuter vehicle. Elio Motors, our team, our blue chip suppliers and board of directors are working diligently every day on fundraising and vehicle development to move closer to production and bring jobs to the region.
We were recently asked to divert resources away from our mission to meet with the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission. The commission, primarily made up of traditional auto dealers, ruled that Elio Motors is already a manufacturer and that we were not currently in compliance with state regulations. We do not believe the findings were in harmony with Louisiana motor vehicle laws nor in the best interest of the people of Louisiana or Elio Motors, and plan to appeal the decision.
We remain committed to succeeding in Shreveport and will continue to work closely with all local agencies to ensure success for everyone. We look forward to creating manufacturing jobs, contributing to the economy and the tax base, to working with the commission and other local leaders and to maximize benefits to the Shreveport community."
