Police cars are designed for the toughest and meanest job ever experienced by every law enforcer; talk about wild police chases and hot criminal pursuits. Anyway, these cars should be reliable, fast and safe. And what brand has these qualities? Yes, it’s Volvo.

Today, spectators and visitors at the GreenFleet Arrive ‘n’ Drive event at Rockingham are lucky enough to experience a remarkable variety of Volvo cars, which includes the latest Volvo V70 2.5 FlexiFuel Turbo (FT) 200bhp police car. According to the Auto Channel, this vehicle was developed by Volvo to the precise requirements of the Emergency Services as part of its environmentally-friendly FlexiFuel proposal. Volvo V70 2.5 FlexiFuel Turbo (FT) 200bhp police car is exhibited along with the the C30 SportsCoupe, S40 saloon and V50 Sportswagon, all packed with Volvo's 1.8 FlexiFuel engine, and the Volvo V70 2.0 FlexiFuel estate.

“With our ongoing commitment to provide the Emergency Services in the UK and Europe with vehicles that meet their specific requirements, it was a natural and logical step forward for Volvo to offer a FlexiFuel version of our most popular Emergency Services model,” says Sarah Tottle, Volvo Special Vehicle Manager.

“The NAPFM Five Year plan incorporates a strategy to reduce UK police fleet carbon footprints. The introduction of this new FlexiFuel Volvo will allow Police Fleet Managers to consider this model as an alternative fuel option against new diesel technology, hybrids and LPG,” says John Bradley MBE, Press Officer for the National Association of Police Fleet Managers and Fleet Manager for Hampshire Constabulary.
