Police pursuit vehicles have some rather strict criteria in the US since they need to be able to participate in high-speed chases where officers could face off against heavily modded cars. This is why electric vehicles or hybrids were off the table until the technology caught up. It seems this has finally happened with the Los Angeles Police Department getting several cars from Ford that are pursuit-ready hybrids.
Super-fast cars that are powered by renewable energy are not new, with Tesla currently having the fastest commercial electric vehicle in the world with the Model S P100. However, pursuit cars require more than speed since they can take police to some unexpected places with very rough terrain. In the past, only gas vehicles could fulfill this need until the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan came onto the scene.
Touted as the first hybrid car that is capable of pursuit, the vehicle was approved by the LAPD after rigorous testing, The Los Angeles Time reports. The vehicles were put through their paces by the Michigan State Police and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
In terms of the features, it’s clear that Ford created the Responder with the needs of police officers in mind. The engineers upgraded the suspension, gave the brakes some more muscle, suitable wheels, and tires, and even threw in a skid plate. The interior sports similarly utilitarian aspects, including stab-proof seats to protect police officers from sharp objects.
"The all-new Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan will help cities decrease emissions and cut down on fuel costs by reducing engine-idle times versus traditional police cars," Ford’s statement reads.
As for the hybrid benefits, the vehicles are able to reach 38 miles per gallon, which is nearly double what standard patrol vehicles employed by the LAPD are capable of, Business Insider reports. The vehicles will first be rolled out to New York and Los Angeles, with other cities and states hopefully following in the future.
