The US Secret Service met with General Motors (GM.US) to discuss the progress of a new generation of armored SUVs

The Zhitong Finance App learned that US Secret Service (USSS) Director Sean Curran confirmed on social media that he met with General Motors (GM.US) executives to discuss the progress of the next generation of armored SUVs. “Addressing ever-changing threats requires us to continuously explore new innovations and improve our armored fleet,” he said.

According to reports, GM has been supplying vehicles to the US Secret Service for a long time, especially for the US President's traffic and safety needs. For example, during George W. Bush's presidency, the 2001 Cadillac Devil used by the US Secret Service was designed by GM in accordance with the requirements of the Secret Service. The car has extensive armor and advanced safety features, and has earned the nickname “The Beast.” Recently, GM Defense (GM Defense), a subsidiary of General Motors, participated in the production of armored vehicles by the US Department of Defense (in particular, the Office of Foreign Affairs and Security).
