AUBURN, CA--March 21, 2011: ClipperCreek, Inc. announced today that it will supply its UL listed portable charge cord, the PCS-15 for the smart fortwo electric drive.

“ClipperCreek is excited to part of the smart fortwo electric drive rollout”

The PCS-15 is a durable, field tested, portable charging station which can be plugged into any standard wall outlet. The PCS family of products has been in use around the world for years and has proven its rugged durability in harsh conditions.

The smart fortwo electric drive is a natural evolution of the smart brand and amplifies its environmental leadership. With an unparalleled eco-heritage, smart developed the electric drive as the next logical extension of the fortwo platform which continues to be a trendsetter in addressing issues facing urban mobility and conservation.

"ClipperCreek is excited to part of the smart fortwo electric drive rollout," said Dave Packard, ClipperCreek's President. "We feel our PCS embodies the same compact design and rugged reliability as the smart fortwo, it's a great combination."

The product is part of ClipperCreek's family of OEM solutions offering UL listed Level 1, Level 2 EV charging products for North America as well as systems approved for Europe and Asia, all in the same package.

This year, smart USA is strategically placing 250 smart fortwo electric drive vehicles across the United States with companies, municipalities, organizations and individuals interested in making a passionate statement on conservation and environmental awareness. smart USA delivered the first smart fortwo electric drive to a retail customer in the United States in January 2010. Series production on next-generation electric drive vehicles for retail sale through smart USA's dealer network is expected in 2012.
