T3 Motion, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TMMM) received worldwide exposure for its iconic clean-energy T3 Series Electric Stand-up Vehicle (ESV) in last night’s Super Bowl XLIV broadcast. Four of the vehicles were featured in a 60-second commercial by Audi entitled “Green Police” promoting their diesel wagon, the A3 TDI® (Green Car Journal’s 2010 Green Car of the Year®). Rock and roll legends Cheap Trick rewrote the lyrics to their hit song, “Dream Police,” for the soundtrack to the commercial which aired in the fourth quarter of the worldwide broadcast to an estimated television audience of over 100 million viewers.

Since 2006, T3 Motion, Inc. has deployed over 2,000 T3 Series ESVs around the world and over 5,000 of its proprietary power management systems with swappable Lithium-ion batteries. The T3 Series has become a daily tool for public safety, government and security applications for over 500 agencies. Examples include police departments in Los Angeles, New York, Miami-Dade, Dallas, Acapulco and Montreal as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Airports using the T3 Series include Los Angeles, Atlanta, JFK in New York, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Toronto and Vancouver. They can also be found at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Seattle. Government deployments include the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and the United States Postal Service.

The T3 Series has been selected for a wide range of security applications by companies such as Target, Simon Property Group, Securitas, G4S/Wackenhut, Allied Barton, Andrews International, Disneyland, Marriott, NBC Universal, Google, Apple and eBay. Campus deployments include the University of Southern California, UCLA, Duke University, Florida State University and Princeton University. Other deployments include the Staples Center in Los Angeles during Lakers games, major retail venues such as the Beverly Center in Beverly Hills and the Pier Shops at Caesar’s in Atlantic City, and medical facilities like the Cleveland Clinic and Kaiser-Permanente. In addition to the North American market, the T3 Series has been deployed in the Bahamas, Bermuda, Guatemala, Holland, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The four T3 Series ESVs were selected by production vehicle specialists Picture Car Warehouse and advertising agency Venables Bell & Partners to represent the “Green Police” clean-technology patrol vehicles seen throughout commercial. Special “Green Police” graphics were designed and applied to each of the vehicles. The commercial was filmed in Southern California in January 2010.

“We are very excited that our electric T3 Series vehicles were featured in the Super Bowl XLIV commercial with Audi. The dynamic on-screen portrayal of the T3s in the ad were directly in line with our clean energy, zero gas emission message,” said Ki Nam, CEO of T3 Motion, Inc. “It is gratifying to know that our T3 Series vehicles not only promote the image of command presence, but also promote the message of green energy, no matter where they are deployed.”
