The Sarasota-based company is shipping 28 vehicles to the Veterans Administration in California.
SARASOTA — Cruise Car Inc. has landed a $430,000 contract to supply 28 of its custom-built, low-speed vehicles to the U.S. Veterans Administration.
Cruise Car said it has begun shipment of four styles of the vehicles to the VA campus in Palo Alto, California.
It marks the latest of several contracts that the Sarasota-based company has been awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide its vehicles at such VA facilities as medical centers and cemeteries in 10 other states, the company said in a news release.
“Cruise Car has found a successful niche in selling to VA facilities nationwide,” president Adam Sulimirski said in the release. “We’ve also shipped many ADA carts that allow the transport of guests in wheelchairs.”
The VA campus in Palo Alto chose electric six-person shuttles, electric six-foot cargo vans, electric six-foot open cargo boxes and small gas-powered utility carts. Popular vehicles with the VA include a shuttle cart with extra leg room for easy loading of elderly, the company said.
The company says its vehicles can be found at more than 1,000 properties worldwide operated by Disney, Universal Studios, the Tampa Bay Rays, major hotel chains, universities and every branch of the U.S. military.
