Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG), the country's largest owner, developer and manager of high quality retail real estate, and T3 Motion, Inc., manufacturers of the revolutionary T3 Series law enforcement vehicles, announced today the deployment of these vehicles at various Simon properties nationwide.

The three-wheeled T3 makes officers more visible. The nine-inch, elevated platform enables them to see over the tops of cars. This enhanced ability for T3 officers to see and be seen has helped reduce crime at retail centers throughout the U.S.

Reaching speeds up to 20 m.p.h. and designed with the input of law enforcement and security industry professionals, the T3 Series features a zero-degree turning radius and compact design -- perfect for maneuvering through crowds and tight spaces. Also unique to the T3 Series is the most user-friendly, intuitive operation of its kind, giving the rider a sense of superior stability. The quiet, environmentally-friendly, zero-gas-emission vehicles include an integrated LED lighting system, and an unparalleled low cost of operation -- running for less than 10 cents per day and never requiring any down time due to the T3's two re-chargeable lightweight batteries.

"The T3 will be a tremendous tool for our shopping center security patrols nationally," said John Petruzzi, vice president of corporate security and emergency management at SPG. "Another advantage of our deployment of these electric vehicles is that we can maintain our superior level of service without increasing costs," Petruzzi added.

Simon Property Group, recently honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a 2008 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for outstanding energy management and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, is also eager to embrace the T3 because of its environmental advantages.

"Each T3 will reduce our carbon footprint by over five tonnes of CO2," said George Caraghiaur, SPG's vice president of energy services.

"The T3 has been warmly embraced by the public. It has become a valuable community relations tool wherever it goes," said Neil Brooker, president of T3 Motion, Inc. "With fuel prices rising to new heights, we are very proud to offer the T3 Series electric personal mobility vehicle as a cost-effective, agile, and responsive solution for both interior and exterior patrols."
