Vauxhall shows high-tech Ampera police car

Vauxhall won a competition run by the Association of Chief Police Officers Intelligent Transport Systems (ACPO ITS), to demonstrate an electric vehicle that uses cutting-edge crime-fighting technology and this modified Ampera is the result.

The Ampera petrol/electric hybrid, which is shortlisted for both the World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year awards, could be introduced into active Police service by 2015.
