Industry Segment: Personal Mobility Vehicles

nnnn

The personal mobility vehicle industry is divided into two major

nnnn

product categories: personal mobility devices (personnel carriers,

nnnn

golf cars, commercial vehicles, trams and man lifts), and devices

nnnn

designed primarily for disabled persons (wheelchairs, powered

nnnn

scooters, lifts and specialty elevators). According to a recent

nnnn

Freedonia Group, Inc. research report, the demand for persona

nnnn

mobility devices in the US is projected to increase more than

nnnn

five percent per year through 2010 to approximately $3.6 bil-

nnnn

lion. Commercial vehicles are expected to enjoy the most rapid

nnnn

growth as manufacturers of personnel carriers continue to adapt

nnnn

such products for general commercial use.

The h\ Agility with Efficiency

nnnn

The T3 is an electric three-wheel,

nnnn

stand-up vehicle that is incredibly

nnnn

effective for professional use. It has been designed to deliver

nnnn

performance for such fast-paced activities as community polic-

nnnn

ing and patrolling of airports, military bases, campuses, malls,

nnnn

public venues and other high-density areas. It is also used for

nnnn

deliveries. The T3 offers a zero-degree turning radius, providing

nnnn

the required agility to maneuver through confined and narrow

nnnn

areas. Additionally, it is an energy-efficient vehicle that emits

nnnn

no gas emissions.

successfully

nnnn

mplemented by

nnnn

the Los Angeles

County Sheriff's

nnnn

fleet of patro

nnnn

cars. In a recent Law and Order Magazine article, Commander

nnnn

John Radeleff, Chief Technology Officer for the LASD, com-

nnnn

mented, "The T3 has been able to quickly enter the alleyways

nnnn

and traverse significant

nnnn

distances in a very

nnnn

I short time, enabling

nnnn

deputies to prevent

nnnn

excessive loitering and

nnnn

reduce the potentia

nnnn

for crime."

nnnn

utilized the T3 unit to
