Ford Fusion Hybrid Update: Industry-First Hybrid-Electric Police Cruiser Redefines Crime Fighting [VIDEO]

Ford has launched its fusion hybrids that will accompany public constabularies in keeping the communities safety. With this, fighting crimes, chasing public offenders and patrolling the community, the police department has garnered quite a positive impression among the people it serves.

According to Andrew Krok of CNET, this Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan is a police car that happens to be a hybrid. In addition, it is actually the first pursuit-rated hybrid. Pursuit vehicles are carriages that are cleared for a majority of police work which includes high-speed response and pursuits.

The Fusion Hybrid Police Responder is one of 13 electrified vehicles which Ford announced last January within a five-year period which began at the beginning of 2017. In addition, the production of this unit takes part of the $4.5 million investment Ford sealed, AutoFocus reported.

Although Ford has launched this Fusion Hybrid, the car producer giant is positive to find the right place outside its introductory markets in Los Angeles and New York City. The key advantage of this car is its lesser consuming capacity.

According to Fords, the gas-electric cruiser is estimated to return with an average fuel consumption of 6.2 L/100 km compared to what the current Taurus-based cruiser's 3.7-litre V6. Although the difference is quite small, it is still half of that latter's consumption.

Ford Manufacturing also noted that its Fusion Hybrid has passed the certification based on police department standard. Thus, the car as a new police pursuit can comply for longer periods at different speeds and over obstacles such as pavements and flooded junctures.

Moreover, Ford said that the Hybrid's real benefits include the cop cars' capability to do a lot of idling as officers leave the engine running while filing for reports or by simply attending other mundane police tasks whenever they are not actively patrolling things.
