Augusta, Ga., Jan. 25, 2017 – Club Car™, the world’s largest manufacturer of small-wheeled, zero-emission electric and utility vehicles and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, is expanding its suite of product offerings and will have current and future vehicles on display at booth #2928 at the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida from Jan. 25-27.
Club Car will have a variety of vehicles at its booth, including the PRECEDENT®, Transporter XL™, CARRYALL® and Café Express™. Company representatives will be on hand for additional information and media interviews.
Club Car will showcase its extensive portfolio of utility and turf utility vehicles, which highlights Club Car’s commitment and ability to provide holistic solutions that satisfy all of the needs of golf course owners and resort operators.
In addition to utility and turf utility vehicles, Club Car will for the first time reveal the Onward™, a personal transportation vehicle (PTV) and will have a lifted, 4-passenger version on display at its booth. The Onward™ is Club Car’s first major product launch in 10 years and offers a highly customizable platform. It is designed for master planned communities and open neighborhoods.
