Ford Launches Fuel Saving Police Interceptor

Ford Launches Fuel Saving Police Interceptor

FLUSHING, Mich.- While Ford Motor Company's Police Interceptor has already received praise from law enforcement officials, police departments are going to love it even more when it starts saving them money! How is it going to do that? Ford has launched a fuel saving Police Interceptor that is powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine!

Not only is Ford helping police departments save on fuel costs with the new non-pursuit special service police sedan, but the sedan will also be the first law enforcement vehicle to achieve 30 mpg of better! Ford's new fuel saving Police Interceptor will be powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that produces 240 horsepower and is expected to get 32 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city. Compared to the standard Crown Victoria which only achieves 14 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, upgrading to the new special service sedan could save the department $5,000 over the course of 3 years with gasoline priced at $3.65 and the officer driving 30,000 miles per year!

What about the power that officers need while out on the job? Officers that need a pursuit-rated vehicle will rely on the other more powerful Fords. But those who do not, like detectives, administrators, campus police, and some law enforcement agencies, will be able to replace their older V8-equipped vehicles with a more efficient model.

Ford Motor Company's Police Interceptor sedans are now available with four powertrain options to meet each officer's specific needs: the 3.5-liter V-6 with front-wheel drive, 3.7-liter V-6 with all-wheel drive, the new 2.0-liter V-6 and the 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine with all-wheel drive.

Ford Interceptor 'Surveillance Mode' For Police

Ford Interceptor 'Surveillance Mode' For Police

FLUSHING, Mich.- While our country's police force work to keep us safe and protect us from crime day in and day out, they could use some backup of their own every once in a while, and the new Ford Interceptor 'Surveillance Mode' for police is doing just that! The latest safety technology is a new kind of protection for police officers that is being tested on the new Ford Police Interceptor! The breakthrough technology, which is the first of its kind, will work to keep police safe while on the job.

Ford Motor Company's new 'Surveillance Mode' safety technology will alert police officers in the event someone approaches their vehicle from behind. Should someone approach the vehicle from behind, the system detect the person and automatically sound an alert, lock the doors, and roll up the windows. Officers can also see what is going on behind the vehicle with the projected backup camera image on the rearview mirror.

While backup cameras and sensors generally only work when the car is in reverse, Ford's new technology works even when the vehicle is parked, detecting activity behind the vehicle with the rear sensors. As you probably guessed the system works during both the day and night, however it can be turned off in high traffic areas where there are a lot of pedestrians.
“It’s like insurance. You hope you never need it. But if you do, it gives the officer a few extra seconds of warning,” says Marc Ellison, vice president of operations at InterMotive Inc., the company which helped Ford develop the system.
The new Ford Interceptor 'Surveillance Mode' For Police is currently only available on the automaker's Interceptor. But, Ford's passenger vehicle's also employ countless safety features to keep you and your family safe every day. Stop by Delehanty Ford to see how a new Ford can keep you and your family safe.
