The New Zealand Police have unveiled a zero emission vehicle which will be trialled on the front line to assess its suitability for a larger role within the organisation’s fleet.
Police are rolling out five new BMW i4 models as part of a $1.7 million trial testing the operational needs of the cars over the next six months.
The i4 was selected for the trial, successfully meeting most performance requirements for an operational vehicle while fulfilling carbon reduction targets and fitting within existing project funding, NZ Police says.
This project is supported with co-funding from the State Sector Decarbonisation Fund, administered by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA).
