Odyne Corp CEO To Speak at Environmental Sustainability Conference
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--Odyne Corporation (OTCBB:ODYC) CEO Roger M. Slotkin will speak at the “Healthy Environment-Healthy Economy” conference, which will be held at the New York State Legislative Office Building in Albany on December 6th, 2006. Mr. Slotkin will explain the importance of “Hybrid and Plug-In hybrid electric propulsion technology” directly to New York State legislators and to the staffs of various state agencies. A number of influential policy makers are expected to attend. Mr. Slotkin will be part of the “Green Transportation” panel along with Dr. Neil Murphy, President of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and Mr. Tim Gilchrist, Chief of Transportation Strategy at NYS Department of Transportation.
The “Healthy Environment-Healthy Economy” conference, organized by the Citizens’ Environmental Coalition, seeks to bring together decision makers from state government, academia, high technology, transportation planning, and public policy in order to raise awareness of the connection between green technology and the benefits resultant with its use, highlighting the economic development potential that New York State can reap by being a high technology/green technology leader.
The goal of the planners is to facilitate a safe and sustainable future for New York State by using homegrown transportation technology options and building techniques to keep the state “clean and green,” and also create new jobs in the process. Odyne’s hybrid electric propulsion system provides an effective response to the conference’s primary questions: “What are some of the most promising opportunities that exist today for building a safe and sustainable economy? What are the most important challenges?”
