About EZGO and TEXTRON

ABOUT EZGO

During a hot summer in 1954, in a cramped one-room machine shop in Augusta, Georgia, EZGO® was born. Two brothers started with a simple belief that they could build a better golf car, that better met the needs of the customer, than any other vehicle then on the market.

From those humble beginnings, EZGO has become a world leader in transportation and a leading global manufacturer of golf cars, utility vehicles and personal transportation vehicles. From their headquarters in Augusta, they build tens of thousands of vehicles each year, many of which feature game-changing technology and innovations to improve vehicle efficiency and enhance the user experience like no other vehicle can. As but one example, the exclusive AC Drive, found in the EZGO RXV golf-car platform, uses an alternating-current motor and electrical powertrain to deliver unparalleled hill-climbing power and vehicle performance with unmatched energy efficiency, with industry-leading features like a parking brake that automatically engages whenever the vehicle stops.

EZGO is also well known for its business and operational excellence. In 2009, EZGO received the coveted Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence. That same year, the company's Augusta facility was named one of Industry Week magazine's top 10 manufacturing plants in North America. The company's facilities follow ISO 9001 standards.

Since 1960, EZGO has been part of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT), a global multi-industry company headquartered in Providence, RI. A Fortune 500 company with more than 35,000 employees worldwide and operations in 25 countries, Textron is known for its powerful brands, including EZGO, Cessna, Beechcraft, Hawker, Bell Helicopter, Jacobsen and Kautex, among others.

Today, EZGO vehicles are designed and manufactured by Textron Specialized Vehicles, a division of Textron Inc. that also manufactures commercial and industrial utility vehicles, recreational side-by-side UTVs, and ground support equipment for the aviation industry. EZGO stands alongside its sister Textron Specialized Vehicles brands Textron Off Road, Arctic Cat®, Jacobsen®, Dixie Chopper®, Cushman® and Textron GSE as leaders in the respective industries they serve.

But more than 60 years after the first EZGO vehicle was built in that sweltering one-room shop, there is still that single belief that exists to build vehicles and services that exceed the expectations of the customer, better than any other offering on the market. It is the drive to sustain and improve that position to offer an unparalleled combination of world-class products, advanced technology, manufacturing expertise, and extraordinary service that leads EZGO to cover new ground.

Let’s talk Lithium

INTRODUCING THE NEW ELITE SERIES LITHIUM POWERED CARTS

A Proven Element of Innovation

EZGO® has yet again revolutionized electric golf cars with its ELiTE Series vehicles, activated by Samsung SDI lithium technology. With high-efficiency, zero-maintenance battery power and an unprecedented five-year, unlimited-amp-hour warranty, ELiTE Series vehicles give you the lowest operating costs the industry has ever seen.

Zero-Maintenance Batteries

Samsung SDI lithium batteries don't require the labour involved with watering, terminal post check-ups and cleaning like lead acid batteries. Do the math, and you'll be surprised how much maintenance time you could save.

Unprecedented 5-Year Warranty

We believe in the reliable and enduring performance of ELiTE Series vehicles so much that every model comes with a five-year, unlimited-amp-hour warranty. By providing this coverage, you and your course can eliminate costly out-of-warranty repairs.

Cost-Saving Efficiency

ELiTE series vehicles have Samsung lithium cells that are loaded into a single battery pack. By tapping into this cutting-edge technology, they use less energy, charge in half the time and require less out-of-wall power than leading lead acid competitors. That means you can dramatically cut energy costs, and enjoy the extra revenue that comes from all-day uptime.

A Lighter Fleet and Healthier Turf

With batteries half the size and a fraction of the weight of lead acid, ELiTE vehicles weigh hundreds of pounds less. This takes a big load off of your turf, protecting one of you most valuable assets.

Consistent Performance

For many courses, the most noticeable difference of lithium technology is a reliable power source that doesn't fade over time. Whether it's a new or five-year-old vehicle, ELiTE vehicles will give you and your golfers all the acceleration and hill-climbing power they could want.

Proven Technology

ELiTE vehicles utilize Samsung SDI lithium batteries, which are controlled by an advanced Battery Management System that monitors efficiency, temperature, state of charge and the health of the batteries. These batteries have been used to safely and reliably power electric cars, e-scooters, power tools and more.

Eco-Friendly Technology

Driven by a zero-emissions, greener battery technology, ELiTE vehicles protect the Earth by using less energy. Our lithium batteries last longer and spend more time efficiently driving your fleet and less time in the recycling process.

IntelliBrake Technology

EZGO THE INDUSTRY LEADER IN AC AND INTELLIBRAKE TECHNOLOGY

For more than eight years, EZGO's RXV golf car has delivered unrivalled performance for golf facilities around the globe. The only vehicle equipped with a revolutionary combination of AC power and IntelliBrake technology, the RXV has raised the bar on superior performance and energy efficiency. By using an innovative AC motor and IntelliBrake System, the RXV is more efficient, easier to use and provides better value than other vehicles.

WHAT DOES AC TECHNOLOGY MEAN?

The next generation RXV utilizes the same pioneering AC technology introduced with the RXV's launch in 2008 that has been proven to generate increased energy efficiency, longer run time between charges and more hill-climbing power. AC, or alternating current, delivers power more efficiently and faster than direct current, or DC, because of the way it is transmitted. This makes AC vehicles efficient and powerful, all while using less energy.

WHAT IS THE EZGO INTELLIBRAKE SYSTEM?

EZGO's patented IntelliBrake System encompasses two revolutionary technologies - a motor brake that slows the vehicle when traveling up or down steep grades, and an automatically applied parking brake. The motor brake automatically engages when you are driving to slow the vehicle on hills and the parking brake automatically activates whenever the vehicle is stopped, so your golfers no longer have to set and release a brake. Unlike mechanical brakes which waste energy by creating friction and heat, the IntelliBrake Brake provides full-time regenerative braking. During this process, the motor captures the energy typically used to brake and uses it to recharge the batteries.

EZGO'S UNIQUE COMBINATION: Benefits of the AC & IntelliBrake System

Reliability:EZGO's RXV offers increased reliability over other vehicles in the industry because of its revolutionary AC and IntelliBrake technology. With 15% greater efficiency compared to DC- powered vehicles, the RXV generates more power while using less energy, giving you a longer battery life and a 21% energy return back to the batteries from regenerative braking. Its superior hill-climbing ability and constant power allow the RXV to cover more ground quickly and efficiently. And with fewer wearable parts and a sealed brake, the RXV is reliable in any environment.

Experience:The RXV's advanced technology and rugged reliability offer premium performance and give your golfers a superior on-course experience. Equipped with robust AC power, the RXV maintains 97% of its speed when climbing hills, offers consistent all-day speed and best-in-class acceleration, giving your golfers a better pace of play. A parking brake that automatically engages whenever the vehicle is stopped is simple and convenient to use for golfers- and protects against damage. With the highest level of efficiency, durability, reliability and performance, the RXV makes your operation more efficient and gives your guests an experience second to none.

Value:The unique combination of the RXV's zero-emissions AC drivetrain and IntelliBrake System reduces operational costs and generates industry-leading efficiency. Delivering more power while using less energy, the RXV gives you increased battery life and up to 180 more rounds under warranty, stretching your investment further. Fewer wearable parts in the AC motor, such as brushes and bearings, and an IntelliBrake System that does not require brake pads, adjustment or parts replaced regularly help reduce maintenance time. EZGO supports its AC and IntelliBrake technologies with the industry's largest network of factory-direct technical experts.
