While all police vehicles are fast, Ford says what gives the Interceptor Utility a competitive advantage is its standard hybrid all-wheel drive powertrain. The automaker claims it will save taxpayers between $3,500 and $5,700 a year in fuel costs compared with its current Police Interceptor Utility powered by a 3.7 liter gas engine. Ford’s hybrid police utility vehicle joins a lineup that includes its Police Responder Hybrid Sedan, F-150 Police Responder, Expedition SSV, F-150 SSV, Transit PTV and SSV Plug-In Hybrid Sedan. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’s Dodge brand is a major player with its Durango Pursuit and Charger police pursuit vehicles. The hybrid version of Ford’s Police Interceptor Utility may be even faster.
