Ahead of the winner announcement, Denver7 spoke with Toby Kraus, leader of a Colorado company called Lightship, who said he thinks what they make may be the coolest thing made in Colorado.
He is one of the top 10 finalists. The Colorado Chamber of Commerce shared a video previously highlighting all those finalists.
Kraus created the first all-electric RV, called the AE.1 Atmos.
It’s a vision he’s been working on with his 100 Broomfield employees for five years.
“One in 10 Americans own an RV and the products and design really haven’t changed in decades and they are very reliant on fossil fuels," he told Denver7.
He wanted to change that.
The AE.1 Atmos runs on batteries and solar, and is good for the environment you’re parked in.
When we think of factories, we sometimes forget the passion behind the screens and the wrenches, but it’s easy to find here.
The RVs his company makes fall under the luxury category. They are in production and available for sale on their website Lightshiprv.com.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.
