ETMO News
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., Aug 30, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Extreme Motorsports of
California, Inc. (OTC: ETMO) ("Extreme" or the "Company") is nearing completion
of the structural engineering and design of its 2008 model year off-road
vehicles, including its Sandmaster, Dune Racer, Sportster, and the Extreme
Security Vehicle. As part of this design process, Extreme has combined its
Sandmaster and Desertmaster line and discontinued its MD Sandcar.
The design process employed by Extreme for its 2008 models is the most
technologically advanced in the off-road vehicle industry. Extreme invested in
full structural engineering, including scenario analysis to ensure a higher
quality off-road vehicle. The analysis evaluated the performance of
interconnected components in a variety of applications and evaluated factors
such as force, stress, vertical and horizontal load, aerodynamics, weight ratios
and distribution, chassis width, and track width. Overall, the engineering will
allow for standardized part design and manufacturing, resulting in lower cost of
parts and labor and a commensurate increase in product margins.
In completing the new engineering process, representing thousands of man-hours,
Extreme started with its most technologically advanced vehicle, the Extreme
Security Vehicle, which has been re-envisioned in the 2008 model. Prototype
parts, including the chassis, suspension and shocks did not meet the rigorous
requirements of off-road security applications. For example, the 2008 suspension
design for the ESV is no longer built with tubular chrome moly components, which
failed in initial testing under certain circumstances. Rather, the suspension
components are laser-cut from 1/8th in. chrome moly plates, providing twice the
breaking strength while adding only 2 lbs. total weight.
To support the roll-out of the 2008 ESV, Extreme is now accepting appointments
from local, state and federal agencies and private companies for the first
quarter of 2008 to provide live demonstrations of the ESV in real-world field
situations. The Company is asking any interested parties to write:
Extreme Motorsports of California, Inc.
Attn: ESV Demonstrations
307 Yampa Street
Bakersfield, CA 93307
Please include a description of your application for a vehicle of this type, a
return mailing address, and specific point-of-contact information to allow the
Company to reply with scheduling information. The Company will arrange travel
routes accordingly on a regional or national basis, and will provide detailed
specifications, including alternative fuel engine conformations, at the time of
scheduling. Federal and State agencies will receive precedence. There is no
purchase commitment required to schedule an on-site demonstration.
"We strongly believe that there is nothing like our ESV on the market today and
look forward to demonstrating all of its capabilities, from maneuverability to
armoring and technology systems, to all interested agencies and private security
companies," commented Alan McCaa, President & CEO of Extreme Motorsports. "We
know of no better way to market this vehicle than to afford its future users a
hands-on, real-world test in the environments in which they operate."
