(Newswire.net — December 11, 2020) —
The most innovative and spectacular ideas often don’t make it past inception without a committed Board of Directors. Without the experience, leadership capabilities, fundraising, and technical skills of these industry luminaries, the successful execution of ideas could fizzle out before making an impact on the world. In the race for sustainability and clean energy in the transportation industry, Craig Bouchard’s Ecolution kWh paves the way.
Through technical innovation, affordability measures, and streamlining of early-stage operations, the company ensures their patented products are ready for successful application in the commercial trucking, train, and subway transportation sectors. At the heart of it all, Ecolution kWh’s Board Of Directors manifests the company’s mission for sustainability.
Core Values And Mission
Ecolution kWh focuses on converting the kinetic energy in moving vehicles to electric energy across the trucking, train, transportation industries. The company aims to solve the most common issues preventing the widespread adaptation of clean energy. Their thorough approach ensures Ecolution kWh’s products are not only effective, but they are also conducive to a real-world application.
As a company, Ecolution kWh champions social democratization, innovation, and sustainability. The company is 65% owned by minority entrepreneurs. This is an important facet that sets an example for propelling social causes, opportunity, and visibility. Ecolution kWh was founded by Executive Chairman Craig Bouchard, and his mentees of five years, CEO Johanne Medina, and CTO Johnny Then-Gautier. Both were raised in the Dominican Republic as were the other founders of the company. The entire leadership team at Ecolution kWh works to promote innovation, equality, rapid advancement, social justice, and a focus on bettering the world.
