Triac, by Green Vehicles Inc., was a two-seat three-wheeled concept car unveiled in 2010–2011. The company went out of business in 2011.

The Triac freeway commuter Early Adopter program closed as of June 15, 2010. The company announced in July 2011 that they will be shutting down all operations.[why?][1] Previously they had been accepting pre-orders for the Triac2.0 requiring a $500 reservation fee and an anticipated delivery in 2011.

Green Vehicles was originally based in San Jose, California, but the company relocated[when?] to an 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) facility in Salinas, California.[citation needed]

The TRIAC has a top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a range of 100 miles (160 km), according to the manufacturer. Charging the TRIAC's 144 volt, 160 amp-hour batteries takes approximately 5 hours when the vehicle is plugged into either 120 or 240 volts AC. Triac was designed with a steel safety cage construction with the two front tires controlling steering and front wheel drive.[citation needed]
