Mattman Specialty Vehicles Inc. Delivers Dual Use Mobile DUI Checkpoint/Command Center to Redondo Beach Police Dept.; Mattman Designs One Vehicle to Handle Multiple Purposes Resulting in Substantial Savings to the City

SAN MARCOS, Calif.--April 7, 2006--Mattman Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (OTC:MMSV) (www.mattmanvehicles.com) announced today that it has delivered an integrated mobile solution to Redondo Beach, CA Police Department to be used for DUI enforcement, as well as a Mobile Command Center for emergencies.

Cities of this size do not typically need an entire fleet of vehicles for every potential application, and this unit joins a recently purchased tactical van for their SWAT team, also provided by Mattman. "You really have to compliment the department for their insight on this project," states John Mattman, Chairman of the Board for Mattman Specialty Vehicles. "They came to us with a need for a command center, as well as a DUI checkpoint, and wanted to fit it into one unit. The beauty of DUI checkpoints is that they not only are great enforcement and deterrent tools, but they also are a great revenue producer for the city."

The trailer includes a rear walk in ramp into a room where individuals can be tested and processed on-site. The center room is a conference center and the front room is a communications area where an incident commander, negotiator, or dispatcher can operate.

Designing dual-purpose units is one of Mattman's hallmarks, and Redondo Beach's unit follows in a long line of similar projects such as numerous DUI/Commercial Enforcement/Command units for California Highway Patrol and a Bio-Terrorism Lab/Command Center for Clemson University.

For over 20 years Mattman Specialty Vehicles Inc., which is headquartered and has manufacturing facilities in San Marcos, California has been dedicated to advancing mobile solutions and excellence in manufacturing. There are over 500 Mattman-built vehicles in major metropolitan areas; the Company estimates that supplying integrated long term solutions to this market alone will result in annual sales in excess of $15.0 million. These vehicles and the technology developed will also be available for a multiple of alternative uses and applications.

The Company's historical and continued success as a supplier to Law Enforcement, Medical, Governmental, Military and Fortune 500 companies is due in large part to: (i) a strong management and support structure; (ii) Innovative Engineering Solutions; and (iii) the company's fully integrated manufacturing capabilities to manufacture the type of high-quality product required by targeted customers.

Mattman has experienced strong growth in recent years with a current growth rate of in excess of 40%. Sales for fiscal year 2005 totaled $9.9 million. Mattman's current backlog is in excess of $14.0 million.
