A largely unknown car company is planning to open its first factory in what used be a headlight plant in a small town in northern Louisiana, state officials announced on Wednesday.

Louisiana economic development officials are enthusiastic about the endeavor which they say will create thousands of jobs. But for now, executives with California-based V-Vehicles, which has backing from activist billionaire T. Boone Pickens and the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, are not saying exactly what type of vehicle the company plans to build.

Pickens has been active in promoting natural gas for use in automobiles, but it isn't clear what form of energy will fuel these cars

Doesn't exactly help that they "are not saying exactly what type of vehicle the company plans to build."

Yes. The article is very sketchy.

Aye, I wish more information had been released but it doesn't seem like a great time to be opening up a car factory. If the cars run on natural gas or another alternative form of fuel, they're going to bomb. There's no infrastructure to handle those fuels.
