Chariot Manufacturing Targets Relief Agencies and Homeland Security

BARTOW, Fla., Jan. 12, 2005 -- American Commerce Solutions, Inc. today announced that its subsidiary Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. has begun to target Relief Agencies and Homeland Security as a market for its lightweight fiberglass trailers.

Steven D. Smith, President of Chariot, stated, "We have opened discussion with a number of government contractors and agencies to provide trailers for several specific applications. Our trailers are well suited for these applications because of their light weight (they will carry more payload than conventional trailers); they are stronger, plus the walls and top are insulated with 1/2" of dense urethane foam. This means that they can be used in situations where temperature extremes are experienced. Applications range from mobile office/sleeping quarters to mobile communications equipment to surveillance. The fact that we have the ability to custom configure the trailer to the application gives Chariot a significant advantage over conventional trailers. We have seen the need for this type of support first hand this year with three major hurricanes inflicting heavy damage in our own back yard. Chariot trailers are made here in the United States, with components made here in the United States. It is fitting that they be a part of these critical efforts. The missions of these agencies from Homeland Security to Disaster Relief affect us all in one form or another. We are proud to be considered for a role in supporting these efforts."
