Ford is to release the second pursuit-rated hybrid police car to the US next summer. Based on the Ford Fusion, the Ford Police Responder Hybrid Sedan features specially designed vehicle dynamics and safety standards required for high-speed pursuits, such as 75 mph rear-end crash testing. When stationary, the Police Responder Hybrid Sedan's lithium-ion battery powers the high electrical loads required by a police vehicle, saving around 0.27 gallons of fuel per hour. Although actual mileage will vary, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates Ford's hybrid technology will clock 38 miles to the gallon.
