Since its opening in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix boasted a sold-out event with over 110,000 attendees and is known for being the first night race in F1 Grand Prix history. The route presents a myriad of unique challenges for security patrols, winding through the streets of Singapore past many national landmarks and public transportation centers.
T3 ESVs have been deployed for crowd control at many high-profile events. In 2010, T3 ESVs were deployed as the environmentally-friendly patrol solution at the Tour De France in Paris, the World Cup in South Africa, and the G20 Summit in Seoul, South Korea as well as the Rose Parade and Super Bowl in 2011.
“We are pleased that our T3 Series ESV has been selected as the vehicle of choice for the Singapore Grand Prix,” Ki Nam, CEO of T3 Motion noted. “With its commanding presence, approachability and acute maneuverability, the T3 ESV features many unique and versatile capabilities as a tool for crowd management. Its deployment at the 2011 Singapore F1 Grand Prix is a meaningful testament to these qualities.”
