Kereta Polis Lotus Evora Adalah Alat “Pendekatan Masyarakat”

Polis Britain mengatakan kereta peronda Lotus Evora terbaru mereka akan membantu memulakan perbualan dengan komuniti mereka.

Lotus Cars mempunyai sejarah panjang menyediakan kenderaan penegak undang-undang ke banyak wilayah di seluruh dunia, termasuk di Australia, AS, Romania, dan Itali. Minggu ini, mereka meminjamkan Evora GT410 kepada jabatan polis yang sedikit lebih dekat dengan rumah, di barat daya England.

Kebijaksanaan konvensional mengatakan bahawa setiap pasukan polis memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya satu atau dua kenderaan prestasi sekiranya pengejaran berkelajuan tinggi berlaku. Kami tahu ada ramai yang laju, tetapi apabila anda menggabungkannya dengan seseorang yang melanggar undang-undang atau menyalahgunakan bahan, maka menjejak dan menghentikan pemandu menjadi mustahak. Namun, itu bukan alasan mengapa Polis Devon & Cornwall dengan senang hati menambahkan Lotus Evora GT410 ini ke armada mereka.

Menurut Roads Casualty Reduction Officer, Pegawai Pengurangan Kesalahan Jalan Raya mereka, Lotus Evora GT410 akan digunakan untuk tidak mengejar penjahat yang laju, tetapi untuk berinteraksi dengan masyarakat setempat. Dia mengatakan ia akan membuat orang bersembang dengan polis tempatan yang biasanya tidak berminat untuk masuk campur.

Kami tidak rasa ianya tidak berlebihan. Lihat sahaja maklum balas media sosial yang mendapat dari satu video pendek Honda Civic Type R PDRM.

MEDIA RELEASE

There is a long history of the world’s most famous performance car brands working with the police to create poster-worthy patrol vehicles, and Lotus is no exception.

Over the years we’ve collaborated with the law-enforcement communities in numerous regions of the UK and internationally. Hethel, the home of Lotus since 1966, is in the county of Norfolk and we have joined forces with its police several times over the years. We’ve also provided cars to traffic teams in Australia, USA, Romania and Italy…. and our latest is now out and about with Devon & Cornwall Police in the south-west of the UK.

The Lotus Evora GT410 is on loan there for a year and is being used for community engagement. It attends shows and motoring events to allow the police to discuss road safety with different audiences. Dorset Police also has access to the car.

Sgt Owen Messenger is a Roads Casualty Reduction Officer for the force and said: “We’ve given the Evora a bespoke livery including full blue light rig – it’s a real head-turner! It’s popular with younger drivers because of its striking sports car looks, while the Lotus badge resonates with many people across the generations. It helps us talk to those audiences who are not always keen to engage with the police.”

He explained that a fatal accident on the road will cost the emergency services around £2.2 million, while closing a major arterial road costs £1million to the local economy every hour. “If we save one life or prevent one accident because this vehicle is helping us talk to people then that is excellent.”

Matt Windle, Managing Director, Lotus Cars, added: “We are delighted to be able to provide this Lotus Evora to Devon and Cornwall Police and Dorset Police to help them with vital road safety programmes. We support any initiative that encourages all drivers to drive to the road conditions, to drive safely and with consideration to others. The Evora is a perfect car to engage with drivers and will help in getting these important messages across to all road users.”
