Iowa City, IA (PRWEB) August 25, 2010.
Celadon Applications, (www.CeladonApps.com
), creator of intelligent green energy and transportation
software applications for the electric vehicle and alternate energy
markets, is announcing the release of their newest application for eliminating
"range anxiety" in electric and hybrid vehicles, Road2™.
Road2 is an advanced vehicle simulator that enables drivers of electric
and hybrid vehicles to determine accurately and easily how far they
can drive on specific battery charge level over a route of their choice.
The application is essential for electric and hybrid vehicles of all
types. Road2 is not a theoretical calculation like many rudimentary
approaches, but uses specific sensor data, individual vehicle characteristics,
weather, topographic and road conditions and other elements to provide
an accurate measure with which the driver can feel confident.
Drivers must know they can drive somewhere and get home again, never
being stranded. The EV market will require many elements for growth,
but most important to a driver's buying decision is eliminating driver
"range anxiety". This has been discussed widely (http://bit.ly/9aOvtC,http://bit.ly/ahKbel
) in both technical and popular media.
Road2 is an application which drivers can use with their Smartphones,
desktops, on the internet, and even in their vehicles. Simply select
where you want to go, and Road2 will tell you which route is fastest,
shortest or uses the least battery energy while insuring you get there
and back. Locations and specifications of charging station opportunities
along the way are provided. Road2 bases all calculations on your specific
vehicle configuration, route, weather, topology and many other factors,
every 0.1 meter.
"With market forecasts for electric vehicles ranging from hundreds of
thousands to many millions, the opportunities for Celadon are tremendous,"
said Karen Pease, CEO of Celadon. "Most EV companies recognize the growth
of the market and acceptance of the technology depends on drivers being
able to rely on the electric vehicle. Road2 provides that confidence
with accurate information."
Top tier auto supply companies such as Magna International have purchased
Road2. Celadon is in discussions with other manufacturers and suppliers.
The Iowa Department of Economic Development and the Pappajohn Entrepreneurial
Center (http://www.iowajpec.org/)
have recognized Celadon as a high potential company and in the forefront
of providing applications for the blossoming electric car market such
as Nissan Leaf, GM Volt, Tesla, Honda, Toyota Prius, etc.
Celadon Applications is a leader in developing innovative solutions
helping green transportation and alternate energy markets grow by providing
accurate and easily accessible information, enabling the confident and
effective operation of these new technologies.

stations, better batteries, but also that you know exactly how much father
your car can go. Celadon solves the problem of driver "range anxiety" written
about (http://bit.ly/dgLKGl,http://bit.ly/ahKbel)

With market forecasts for electric vehicles ranging from hundreds of thousands
