EUGENE, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$FUV #FUV–Arcimoto, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FUV), makers of affordable, practical, and joyful pure electric vehicles for everyday commuters and fleets, is pleased to welcome Galileo Russell to the Board of Directors.
“Galileo Russell has established himself as a thought leader in the EV space, and he has already delivered meaningful strategic opportunities to Arcimoto, notably connecting us with Munro & Associates to help the push to mass production,” said Arcimoto Founder and CEO Mark Frohnmayer. “Gali has demonstrated time and again his deep and thoughtful understanding of this market and we look forward to having him on board as a director as we chart the path to global scale.”
“In my three years following Arcimoto, I’ve gone from skeptic to believer,” added Russell. “After my first factory visit and meeting with Mark in 2018, I was so impressed, I bought my first shares. Since then, I’ve seen the team go from concept to production, and execute on its ambitious vision. Starting from scratch with a new smaller-footprint EV platform, Arcimoto has the potential to sustainably transform how people and goods move around our cities. I’m proud to be an Arcimoto pre-order customer, and can’t wait to get my FUV. This appointment will enable me to expand my relationship with the Company, and work closely with Mark and the team on long-term strategic projects.”
