Dubai Police has added its first electric SUV vehicle Hongqi E-HS9, from ONEROAD Automotive Company, to its fleet of luxury patrol cars.
The move is part of the police force’s efforts to double down on safety and security of the emirate, to maintain its position as one of the world’s safest destinations.
“Through adding supercars within its fleet of luxury patrol vehicles, Dubai Police enhances the security presence of police officers across essential tourist destinations, including the Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, JBR, etc.,” Expert Maj. Gen. Al Mansouri said.
The new E-HS9 can run from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds, and its battery can be recharged to 100 percent in about 6 to 8 hours. The E-HS9 electric vehicle can travel approximately 440 km on a charge.
Al Mansouri added: “Dubai Police has always sought to add the most efficient, flexible and latest models of vehicles to its fleet to deal with various situations. These electric vehicles would improve traffic police performance and help achieve Dubai Police’s strategic objective of maintaining roads safety and security.”
