Volvo has introduced its V70 2.5 FlexiFuel Turbo 200bhp police car, developed to the requirements of the emergency services as part of its FlexiFuel offerings.

The new model is available to order in June and combines Volvo’s V70 police specification build with the environmental benefitsof a FlexiFuel engine.

Volvo has a long association with the UK police service, and has also been working with the National Association of Police Fleet Managers (NAPFM) to deliver a turnkey solution, which can produce a road police car fitted out ready for service in around eight weeks.

John Bradley NAPFM press officer said: “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.”
