SINGAPORE - The Traffic Police is plugging into Singapore’s green drive, with a tender to replace its fleet of highway patrol cars with electric models.
As previously, the cars will have to accommodate a suite of police equipment and paraphernalia. Among the long list of required specifications stated in the documents is that the new car should be able to accelerate from zero to 100kmh within eight seconds – which most electric cars can easily do. For electric models, they should have at least 170kW , and a battery size of at least 60kWh.
Hence, The Straits Times understands that all bids submitted are with electric models, including Sweden’s Polestar 2 , South Korea’s Hyundai Ioniq 5 , China’s BYD Seal and Germany’s BMW i4 and iX1 .Responding to queries, a police spokesman would only say that the exercise was part of a periodic “vehicle replacement programme”.
