The Tomberlin E-Merge™ will be available in September 2006. The E-Merge™ is a small, aggressively styled, two passenger, street-legal, electric car that can charge overnight on a standard 110 volt outlet and have a range in excess of 30 miles. It is targeted to individuals in local neighborhoods and communities for running errands, commuting and general recreation. Its powerplant will generate almost 11 kilowatts making it capable of a top speed of 25 mph and giving it the ability to aggressively climb hills. The Tomberlin E-Merge™ has 4 wheel braking, seat belts, tip-over-bar, lights, and is street legal. The target price point will be around $5,000 which is only slightly more expensive than a used golf cart. Additionally, the E-Merge™ can be financed through Tomberlin™ Financial Services for low monthly payments.
The Tomberlin ANVIL™ is a no-compromise Aggressive Neighborhood Vehicle available the end of this year. The ANVIL™ is a purpose built automobile designed from the ground-up to meet the needs of the local commuter. The ANVIL™’s wheel track is wider than some automobiles which adds to appearance, stability and safety. The rear axle has also been pushed back to accommodate a folding, forward facing, rear seat.
“The ANVIL™ will appeal to a wide range of buyers. It is a utility and multi-purpose truck with over 48” between the wheel wells, it can be used to run errands with a large trunk, and on weekends the rear seats can be folded up so a family of four can comfortable ride together. It is a game changer”, said Mike Tomberlin.
The ANVIL™ is electric and will use reliable lead-acid batteries that can charge overnight on a standard 110 volt outlet giving the ANVIL™ a range of over 40 miles. Shortly after launch, a Hybrid version of the ANVIL™ will be available which will increase the range to over 100 miles. The ANVIL™’s peak power output will be over 25 Kilowatts allowing it to accelerate quickly, climb most hills at top speed, and not impede traffic.
“The ANVIL™ can go 50 miles on $1.00 in power while a car can only go about 5 miles – 10 times the distance on a buck!”, said Dewey Holland, President of Tomberlin™ Automotive Group. Additionally, with a target price point of around $8,000 MSRP the ANVIL™ will be one the most affordable automobiles in the segment.
The Tomberlin™ Automotive Group has begun selection of qualified dealers from their over 400 existing Tomberlin™ recreational equipment dealers for the E-Merge™ and ANVIL™ with enthusiastic response. Additionally, the Tomberlin™ Automotive Group will select new dealers in key markets to best serve the consumer.
