New Head for Raser’s Plug-in Hybrid Group
01 August 2009
Jim Spellman has assumed the leadership of Raser Technologies’ Plug-in Hybrid team as of today. Patrick J. Schwartz stepped down as President of Raser Technologies at the end of July 2009 to pursue other opportunities.
Schwartz joined Raser in 2006 and was instrumental in helping to drive the successful completion of the extended range electric vehicle (EREV) project unveiled this year at the SAE Congress in Detroit, MI, (earlier post) while leading Raser’s Transportation and Industrial business segment.
Spellman was the Vice President of the Transportation and Industrial segment, and also joined Raser in 2006. He has more than 20 years of engineering experience with motors in the automotive industry. Spellman came to Raser after working for Delco Remy, a former division of General Motors, for more than 27 years. Among his many responsibilities at Delco, Mr. Spellman was the director of hybrid technology.
"pursue other opportunities"
Corporate speak for goodbye. They are either pursuing other opportunities or want to spend more time with their families.
