Ace - Eco Engineer - reporting the facts

 

 

Many of you will have noticed a site hosted by Bluebird Automotive Group Limited and David Hammond Williams director, and a big thankyou to those who pointed out the confusion arising there from.

 

The cause of confusion is the pictures in the frame below incorrectly billed as belonging to the BE2, the inference being that it is a motor supplied by Bluebird Electric Racing Ltd. However, it is not and that being the case, it may not be shown to the public as a "bluebird" electric motor. 

 

 

 

Passing off is the civil name for counterfeit crime

 

This is not an authorised BE2 logo

 

  Counterfiet naming of goods is a criminal offence 

 

This is not a BE2 motor

 

 

 

 

Whereas, the car below is the genuine BE2 not that shown on Mr William's [former] website in the picture above.  This was the subject of litigation in the London Patent Court in 1998, in a claim against passing-off.  Passing off is where one party portrays goods in such a fashion as to benefit from earlier goodwill generated by someone else.  Nelson's BE cars came before anything dreamed up by Martin Rees or David Hammond-Williams.  The first of Nelson's BE cars was seen in the Telegraph in 1993, then 1995.  The BE2 was also seen in the Telegraph, Times, Daily Mail, and other newspapers in 1997, to include several other motoring publications.

 

In fact Nelson Kruschandl designed a series of vehicles with the codes: BE1, 2 and now 3.  The BE2 is the subject of British Registered Design number 2067002.  The name 'Bluebird' is British Trademark number 2331931 in respect of Classes 9 and 12 including traction batteries and electric motors and transmission all being motor vehicle parts.  Consequently, the use of the name 'Bluebird' to describe the motor above appears most positively to be an infringement of a live trademark licensed to Nelson Kruschandl, not to David Hammond Williams or Bluebird Automotive Group Limited. Trademark counterfeit is a serious crime. See the sentencing tables below under the Trade Marks and Fraud Acts as to the severity of punishments for fraudulently misrepresenting the facts.

a car using the Bluebird™ cartridge exchange refueling system

 

 

The genuine BE2 vehicle seen above with John Campbell, was a World land speed record contender during 1997 and 1998, now superceded by the BE3 project, which is current and ongoing.  This may become the subject of further litigation and/or formal complaint to the authorities, unless the source of confusion is removed, hence the above is to be treated as subjudice and the subject of criminal investigation.  David Hammond-Williams, Martine Rees and any other directors of Bluebird Automotive Group Limited, or any other similar (pheonix) company arising with similar directorships, please take note and respond to this page urgently. Thankyou.
