Cruise Car Secures Department of Homeland Security Contract

Sarasota-based Cruise Car has concluded a contract to supply the U.S. Department of Homeland Security with a fleet of 19 custom-fabricated van carts equipped with over-sized motors and battery packs that allow 25 mph speeds with extra torque and extended driving ranges. The vehicles have been built and delivered to DHS distribution facilities in Georgia and New Mexico.

“We are seeing great success providing our custom vehicles to the federal government to varying, specific needs,” said Adam Sulimirski, President of Cruise Car. “DHS, like our other customers around the world, choose us because of the incomparable value we offer in-vehicle variety and price.” 

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for the Department of Homeland Security in Glynco, Ga. purchased three custom van box vehicles in 2019. They required electric, street legal, low-speed vehicles with a very custom cargo van box. Cruise Car fulfilled that order, and the Department ordered 19 more. 

Cruise Cars vehicles are engineered to endure aggressive use, challenging topography and the aluminum construction allows them to withstand rust producing moist air environments. They are custom-built to handle specific tasks. Cruise Cars are currently in use at more than 1,000 flagship properties worldwide, including brand names such as Disney, Universal Studios, the Tampa Bay Rays, Hilton Hotels, Ritz-Carlton, dozens of universities, every branch of the U.S. military, NASA, the National Park Service and major airports and municipalities.
