FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 8, 2009

Gainesville, FL – GatorMoto has further expanded the reach of their Electric Vehicles with a recent sale to the Al-Azzouni Group in Saudi Arabia. The sale represents one of GatorMoto’s largest and is their first to Saudi Arabia. The Group purchased fifty of GatorMoto’s Electro Transport Buddy 15p LE. The fleet will carry 750 passengers at one time, with each vehicle traveling up to 50 miles per charge. According to Ahmad Melhem of the Al-Azzouni Group, “the vehicles will be used in Mecca as a transport for incapacitated pilgrims.” Based on domestic electricity costs, the Electric Vehicles that GatorMoto sell cost only two cents for one mile of travel. The vehicles also have zero emissions and a solar option that is added locally in Gainesville, FL. While the Electro Transport Buddy 15p LE is the largest vehicle in the fleet that GatorMoto currently offers, a wide range of vehicle sizes and uses is available. Open air vehicles are available for between two and fifteen passengers, and specialty use vehicles such as Utility, Paramedic and Police Buddy’s are available as well. Many models are street legal and come fully loaded with features such as AM/FM CD player, aluminum wheels and high back chairs.

The imported vehicles use several major domestic components. The batteries used to power the vehicles are Trojan Battery Company brand. The controller, which operates the electrical system and manages the speed, is Curtis Instruments brand. Both Trojan Battery Company and Curtis Instruments are American companies with their parts being made in the United States. The battery chargers are made in Canada by Delta-Q Technologies Corp. Many different types of companies have benefited from the Electric Vehicles that GatorMoto offers, including hotels, rental companies, churches, universities, government agencies and hospitals. Now is a great time to purchase Electric Vehicles, not only for the cost and environmental savings, but also because of tax credit availability for the vehicles and solar options. GatorMoto is proud to be assisting other companies in their efforts to be more environmentally conscious while cutting costs.
