These police cruisers will be on the streets in 2012.
Ford’s all-new Police Interceptor sedan is specially designed to meet the needs of law enforcement. It’s roomy, rugged, and offers strong performance thanks to a potent 280 horsepower engine under the hood. But what will really sway consumers is the fact that these new Police Intercepts could save America’s law enforcement agencies millions of dollars a year on fuel costs.
The Blue Oval’s latest Police Interceptor, which is taking over for the today’s Crown Victoria police car, will deliver at least 20 percent higher fuel economy, which is expected to dramatically reduce fuel costs for cities.
For example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department alone – the largest sheriff’s department in the world – operates a fleet of 6,200 vehicles that patrol an area the size of Connecticut. Last year, those vehicles drove a staggering 27 million miles. A fleet-wide 20 percent fuel economy gain would save the department at least $20 million per year, based on today’s fuel prices of nearly $4 per gallon.
