Two new 2007 GMC Yukons would be responding to crime scenes. This is because producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay of the television series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” has worked with General Motor’s GMC division to be able to donate these vehicles to real life CSIs. The vehicles were given to the Los Angeles and the Las Vegas law enforcement departments. Of course, these two new vehicles are not ordinary Yukons. They have been specially crafted by GMC so as to become a “Mobile Analysis Unit” or would be commonly known as MAU.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer states, “GM has been a great partner for years on many of my movies and TV shows and in the case of ‘CSI’, GMC offered to expand their support for the show. We jumped at the chance to have another tool to tell our stories and the result was the creation of the MAU.” Bay, the director, adds, “As a director, it was important that we shoot these sports in the same creative tone and integrity of ‘CSI’. This unique project allowed me the opportunity to collaborate with Jerry to introduce the MAU.”
Of course, these new vehicles would be working just as hard as the people behind it to serve justice. GMC’s marketing director, Steve Rosenblum, complies, “We believe this initiative shows our commitment to the entertainment industry’s creative community. We’ve worked closely with the show’s creative team to ensure the MAU was both functional and realistic as a crime-fighting tool. And we’re thrilled that beyond the show, the vehicles will be put to test by real-life law enforcement officials.”
So what do these new MAUs have? Well, it has a steel gray metallic exterior. Inside is an integrated KVH TracVision A5 in-motion digital satellite TV receiver. The vehicle also has exterior mirrors with integrated strobes, chrome tubular assist steps, front bumper guards, skid plates, and integrated winches, a power liftgate, and illuminated slide-out Plexiglass evidence trays.
These vehicles would be surely put to the test soon enough. Just like auto parts stores like Auto Parts Discount. All have been put to the test with regards to their products. Not all have passed but some soared through with flying colors. Auto Parts Discount is one of the latter.
