Fisker Automotive

Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Automotive, designed the "green" car company's breakthrough eco-chic KARMA to run on Quantum's Q-Drive - a fully electric-powered system that offers zero-emissions with no compromise on power and achieves 100 miles per gallon.


The innovative Q-Drive is a hybrid propulsion system configured with a small gasoline engine used solely to power an electric generator that charges a lithium-ion battery pack. The advanced propulsion system can take the KARMA from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, reaching speeds in excess of 125 mph.


Quantum's Q-Drive technology will provide a base for all future derivatives from Fisker Automotive and moves Quantum one-step closer to its goal of becoming the premier, fully integrated alternative energy company. Fisker expects to deliver the first of the luxury hybrids by the end of 2009 with full production commencing in 2010.
