Police forces from across the country have ordered 1100 Ford vehicles in new fleet deals.
The UK Northern consortium of 22 forces have ordered 680 vehicles – 560 Transits and 120 Kugas – with half of the Transit Customs set to be used as cell vans after being converted by Ford’s Special Vehicle Preparation centre.
Meanwhile, the UK’s Southern consortium – made up of six fire services and 28 police forces – ordered 200 Transit Customs, 110 Transit Connects, 80 Kugas and 30 Ranger pick-ups.
Ford has also built a one-off police-spec Focus ST TDCi in response to interest from forces since it went on sale last year.
