Hybrid Technology

Hybrid powertrains are ideal for law enforcement use, thanks to significant potential fuel savings from reduced engine idling time. While on duty, even at idle, police vehicles must constantly keep their engines running to power lighting packages, radios, computers and other electrical equipment. Ford hybrid powertrains engineered for police use significantly reduce engine idling time by powering these electrical loads, along with the air conditioning compressor, using the lithium-ion hybrid battery. This allows the engine to run less, only intermittently called upon to top off the battery.

Standard Full-Time Intelligent AWD

The preemptive full-time Intelligent AWD System is standard on Police Interceptor® Utility. It has been specifically designed and calibrated to complement pursuit driving. By distributing torque to all four wheels, the Intelligent AWD System provides improved handling stability and traction in challenging driving conditions.

Police-Calibrated Powertrain

All engine and transmission tuning parameters have been programmed specifically for pursuit driving. The transmission gearing will track with the driver’s maneuvers to optimize response and performance. No additional input is required from the driver – the system automatically detects when the vehicle is in pursuit mode and acts accordingly.
