Dubai Police adds first electric SUV to its fleet of patrol cars

The Dubai Police General Command has added the first electric SUV vehicle, Hongqi E-HS9, to its fleet of luxury patrol cars.

The car was received from the ONEROAD Automotive Company, according to the Dubai Media Office.

The Hongqi E-HS9 is the first fully sports utility vehicle of the Hongqi brand with the functionality of an SUV. The E-HS9 can go from zero to 100 km/h in five seconds. The battery can be charged from zero to 100 per cent in about six to eight hours. The E-HS9 electric vehicle can travel approximately 440 km on a charge.

The metallic painted E-HS9 has multiple advanced and modern screens. All of the screens in the car can carry out information synchronisation.

Expert Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, assistant commander-in-chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs, said: “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.”

“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,” Al Mansouri added.
