Chris Taylor

President and CEO (Interim Head of Engineering)

Chris Taylor has been a professional manager for 30-years developing his skills as a senior manager in the automotive & aerospace engineering industries. As a qualified automotive development engineer, Chris has managed large automotive product development programs using cutting edge design solutions to facilitate new technology.

Chris has recently been in charge of a number of automotive special projects for large mainstream automotive and custom boutique car companies. Develop motorsport programs and production platforms capable of stretching the performance envelope for maximum efficiency. These Engineering programs have been in support of F1, CART, Indycar, IMSA, LeMans MotoGP & Single Manufacture racecar Championships. Chris has held management positions in nearly all professional motorsport disciplines during his career, such as CEO, Managing Director, Technical Director, General Manager, Race Engineer and Development Engineer.

Chris started his engineering career as a development engineer in the diesel fuel Injection and engine development business. After 30-years he has determined that it is now necessary to concentrate all of his knowledge and resources in trying to solve this fossil fuel addiction we all have become dependant on. It is therefore his driving ambition to develop new technology that will replace our dependency on using up the worlds most precious oil reserves. With the USA now importing up to 70% of foreign oil, when there are alternative design solutions that can be introduced to mainstream transportation platforms within the next 5-years that would help us reduce our dependency on foreign oil by up to 50%.

It is with this challenge in mind that Chris has formed Team ULV-3 together with a dedicated team of professionals who like Chris are entering the Progressive Automotive X Prize Competition utilizing ULV-3 Green Automotive Technology.
