ACDC bought this Hybrid from a local dealership October 15, 1999. It was built in Dec. 1999 in Japan.\u00a0 That is how long ACDC has been actively (read this working on) this new crop of transportation. Next in line is a Green M\/Y 2001 Prius, the first model year that the Prius was sold in the USA.\u00a0 It was to be a huge success as we know now. Then Ford introduced the Volvo Inspired Escape in M\/Y 2005. Ford has gone onto make some great hybrids and has overtaken Honda in Hybrid sales in America. The Chevy Volt M\/Y 2011 rounds out the most popular HEV the OEMs have made and sold so far.\u00a0 ACDC is proud to be a part of all this hybrid history. December is\u00a0 a month when I look back at the year and this was a great year for us.\u00a0 Some of what made it great:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We moved to a much larger and comfortable office and garage space<\/li>\n<li>ACDC added a\u00a0 M\/Y 2011 Nissan Leaf<\/li>\n<li>ACDC had record sales (highest ever by a large margin)<\/li>\n<li>Judy Savage came on board<\/li>\n<li>Deb Van Batenburg has moved away from the daily operations<\/li>\n<li>Electude and ACDC have partnered up<\/li>\n<li>Dorman Products, Honda R &amp; D and many other great companies have\u00a0 used our services<\/li>\n<li>Midtronics has provided us with new up-to-date equipment<\/li>\n<li>Our 2013 Hybrid \/ EV book was a big success<\/li>\n<li>Everyone at ACDC is healthy and happy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>My thanks to our trainers, Steve, Jeff, Al, Yves, Jamie.
