(Washington, D.C.) On Tuesday, Jan. 20, a new armored presidential limousine will
make its debut as part of the 56th Presidential Inauguration, following the tradition of
integrating new U.S. Secret Service vehicles into the fleet for Inaugural parades.
The 2009 presidential limousine provides the Secret Service with a valuable asset in
accomplishing its protective mission by affording its occupants the highest level of
protection.
Although many of the vehicles security enhancements cannot be discussed, it is safe to
say that this cars security and coded communications systems make it the most
technologically advanced protection vehicle in the world, said Nicholas Trotta, Assistant
Director for the Office of Protective Operations.
