The Industry

Reuters reports that, “It will be years before demand for hybrid cars in the United States and Europe is big enough for battery manufacturers to make money from that business, but electric cars are nevertheless poised to dominate the market for greener vehicles, the world’s largest car battery maker said on Tuesday.” Johnson Controls believes that “The premium consumers must pay for hybrid cars has prevented them from gaining a bigger share of the overall auto market,” and the current financial turmoil is keeping new car buyers out of the market — while battery technology continues to advance.

“Automakers from Detroit’s General Motors Corp to Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp are developing electric cars for the United States,” which will probably become available around the time that the car market is expected to recover, Reuters.

Autoblog Green on [Insert Date] notes that there are “many differing types of green technology fighting for the chance to lure the green from your pocketbook,” including electric, clean diesel and even hydrogen powered cars. But “because there are only so many development dollars to spend, major automakers will need to pick a technology and stick with it.” Electric cars like Nissan’s planned electric Cube, and extended-range electrics like the Chevy Volt, may be the best bet.

Worldwide Nanotechnology Electric Vehicle Market Shares Strategies, and Forecasts by Wintergreen Research Inc. predicts that by 2015, 32.7 million electric autos will have been shipped.

Corporate Overview

Red Branch Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RBTI) connects emergent companies in sustainable-energy and point-of-need physical security markets with the critical resources they need for commercial success.

Shedding the traditional incubator view of growing individual companies, RBTI works on a reactor model to achieve a critical mass of resources that enable strong and persistent growth amplified by the interactions among the products and companies working inside the RBTI model.

Leadership, financing, and access to markets define the critical resources that underlie the success of product innovators entering high-growth markets. RBTI focuses on making these connections in ways that motivate, not suffocate, the innovators and that give investors confidence that RBTI has a clearly defined path for revenue growth and value appreciation.

Point-of-need defines a key viewpoint for RBTI. Distributed power generation and low-power renewable sources, form the high growth segment of the sustainable-energy market. Coupling this energy viewpoint with point-of-need security solutions creates the kind of synergy RBTI seeks to move forward with its business reactor model.

The Business Reactor Model

Most incubators take a vertically restrictive view of the companies and the products they take to market. RBTI takes a loosely-coupled view of the relationships and opportunities that can power emergent companies. More important than capital resources, RBTI seeks to establish relationships among companies and partners within the reactor that accelerate and build reliable revenue growth.

Powered by access to markets and combinations of product offerings within the reactor, RBTI succeeds from equity appreciation of the companies we power and by revenue derived from strategic relationships and major sales opportunities we establish.

In the case above, a company meeting the market focus criteria, needs assistance with capital structure, funding and integration services and immediate revenue opportunity. RBTI would evaluate these needs for compatibility within the reactor companies’ capacity, capability, application focus and market fit. RBTI then creates the alliances, equity and funding arrangements and moves into market making.

RBTI currently maintains core-level relationships with the following partners. Core-level relationships establish bi-directional equity agreements between the core company and RBTI. We do this to maintain alignment of business interests and to create a value-driven focus to working together.
