Ford Middle East unveiled its latest introductions in law enforcement vehicles with the regional launch of the all-new 2013 Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility. Building on more than 15 years of undisputed leadership in the police pursuit vehicle business, and working hand-in-hand with its Police Advisory Board of law enforcement professionals, Ford introduced the all-new Police Interceptor sedan and utility to further grow its legacy of leadership in this segment.
“We are really excited about the 2013 Police Interceptor vehicles,” Hussein Murad, Ford Middle East’s director of sales, said.
“Ford has been the police segment leader for over a decade, and we’re raising the bar once again with the new generation Police Interceptor vehicles which have been specially designed and engineered to handle the rigors of police work, providing more performance, outstanding handling and fuel economy.”
“We’re confident that the region’s Police authorities who have experienced the legendary Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will see in the new generation models the key attributes that made the CVPI the leading law enforcement vehicle, coupled with the latest technologies that enhance handling and performance. The new Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility are truly purpose-built to meet the requirements of this demanding industry,” Murad added.
Ford specially engineered and designed the new Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility working with its Police Advisory Board, consisting of law enforcement professionals from the United States and Canada who provided feedback on attributes such as safety, performance, durability, driver comfort and functionality. Input was also received from Police authorities from around the Middle East.
Key product attributes from the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor were taken and increased the next-generation products’ capabilities including offering the first and only pursuit-rated all-wheel-drive police vehicles. Police departments and other law enforcement agencies now can get an all-new vehicle with the same durability of the popular Crown Victoria.
“Our experience with the Crown Victoria helped us develop the next generation of Police Interceptor vehicles that serve as tools for public safety officials to do their jobs safely, efficiently and effectively,” Lisa Teed, Ford marketing manager for the Police Interceptor products, said.
