Briggs & Stratton Corporation recently announced a new strategic supply agreement with Ingersoll Rand® to power Club Car® vehicles with its Vanguard® Commercial Lithium-Ion Battery Packs. Beginning in July, the Company will power Club Car's new Lithium-Ion line of Fleet Golf Cars. This product line has some of the most innovative technology in the Club Car line-up.

With lithium-ion power, the fleet charges 2X faster, reduces energy consumption, requires zero maintenance, and has a much longer life compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. As a result of this new agreement and other rapidly increasing interest, Briggs & Stratton Corporation previously announced it will open a new Advanced Battery Manufacturing facility in Tucker, GA. As of June 10, four production lines will be operational within the new 78,000 sq.

ft. facility which has capacity to accommodate future growth. This facility is in addition to the current production space located in Milwaukee, Wis., which going forward will serve as a developmental facility to support the influx of interested customers in this $12B addressable market, including military, construction, municipal and golf & leisure, in addition to lawn & garden.
