AUGUSTA, Ga. (April 16, 2025) — Club Car®, a global leader in innovation and design for golf cars, low-speed utility vehicles and personal-use transportation, is proud to announce that Mark Rickell, Vice President of Sales, has been featured in The Means Report, an extended format news broadcast known for in-depth interviews with industry leaders.

In the segment, Rickell plainly discusses recent success of American Manufacturers in the low-speed personal transport vehicle (LSPTV) industry which petitioned the International Trade Commission in 2024 to address illegal dumping and subsidies on LSPTVs imported from China.

“We’ve been pursuing an equitable market with fair practices,” Rickell explained. “With our petition to the ITC [International Trade Commission] and [Department of] Commerce last year, we went after illegally subsidized products that were dumped into the U.S. market violating existing commerce and trade laws. We’ve seen success and now have to be vigilant as these companies try to evade the tariffs.”

During the interview, Rickell also previewed exciting new product developments, street-legal products and shared about the Club Car Difference manufacturing quality, safety and reliability to give customers peace of mind.

“We build to automotive standards and have road load simulators that test every aspect of our products,” said Rickell of Club Car engineering and manufacturing processes. “If you put your family members into a vehicle, you want it to stop at the stop sign. That’s what we’re making sure happens.”

A highlight of the segment was an exclusive preview of the Onward LSV and new Tempo upgrades - the latest additions to the Club Car product line. These innovations reflect the company’s continued commitment to premium performance, modern design, and cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving needs of both recreational and commercial users.

The segment concluded with a brief spotlight on the Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club, a celebrated event on the Korn Ferry Tour that was held April 3-6, 2025.
