Jackson, Wisconsin – December 14, 2024 – Freedom Motors, a leader in adaptive mobility and cutting-edge engine technology, is pleased to announce that Ron Spoerl, President and CEO of Aambe Corporation, has joined the company as a strategic partner and advisor. With his extensive leadership experience and strong ties to Native American Tribal Nations, Spoerl’s collaboration with Freedom Motors will enhance the company’s ability to deliver innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions to diverse communities across the nation. Spoerl brings over two decades of experience in Tribal economic development, entrepreneurship, and business strategy, all of which will support Freedom Motors' growth. As a federally recognized Tribal member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, he has a proven track record of leveraging his unique understanding of Native American communities and business needs. Through his leadership at Aambe Corporation and its division, NativeFirst Capital, Spoerl has empowered businesses within Indian Country, and his strategic guidance will now help Freedom Motors expand its impact in underserved communities, including Native American nations.
Revolutionary Engine Technology for a Sustainable FutureAt the core of Freedom Motors’ vision is the groundbreaking Rotapower® engine, a unique and patented technology that combines the best features of rotary and piston engines. The Rotapower engine’s proven, inexpensive technology was originally developed by Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), which invested $250 million in perfecting its rotary engine design. OMC produced over 35,000 rotary engines for snowmobiles, accumulating over 5 million operational hours, and demonstrated the rotary engine’s ability to compete cost-effectively with two-stroke piston engines. Freedom Motors has since acquired OMC’s core rotary engine technology, enhancing it with proprietary advancements to improve reliability, fuel efficiency, and dramatically lower emissions. The company’s new design, featuring patent-pending intake porting and rotor interface, has optimized the engine’s performance, achieving a leading power-to-weight ratio of 3:1. These advancements reduce fuel consumption and emissions by more than 85% compared to traditional industrial four-stroke piston engines and recreational two-stroke engines, making the Rotapower® engine one of the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions on the market.
NASA-Backed InnovationThe development of Freedom Motors’ Rotapower engine has been further supported by cutting-edge research, including collaboration with NASA. Through NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, the company received funding to incorporate advanced coatings into the engine. These coatings, developed with NASA’s Glenn Research Center, significantly improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend engine life by minimizing wear and friction. This technology has been praised for its ability to make engines cleaner, more efficient, and capable of running smoothly on a variety of fuels.
The Future of Mobility and AccessibilityBy joining Freedom Motors, Ron Spoerl is combining his deep knowledge of Tribal business needs with the company’s commitment to innovative, accessible, and environmentally responsible technologies. Spoerl’s expertise will help Freedom Motors expand its reach, particularly within underserved communities, while delivering reliable mobility solutions that promote independence. “Freedom Motors represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the economic empowerment of Native American communities while supporting a sustainable future,” said Ron Spoerl. “The Rotapower® engine is not only a breakthrough in efficiency and cost-effectiveness, but it also aligns with my commitment to developing environmentally responsible solutions that meet the needs of diverse communities.”
