Chevrolet's police cars draw the Motor Show crowds
United Arab Emirates
Chevrolets specified by the Dubai police department are being displayed for the first time at this year's motor show.
'The police department are so satisfied with their Lumina patrol cars and Tahoe rescue vehicles that they gave special permission for them to be exhibited,' said GM's fleet sales manager Muneer Alhasan. 'The Lumina is a dedicated police model and the Tahoe has been specially modified to suit the requirements of the department of rescue and transport.'
Often the unsung heroes of the auto business, the police vehicles are having their day in the spotlight at the motor show, far from overshadowed by the glamorous array of powerful roadsters, athletic SUVs, and high-tech concept cars that usually claim centre stage.
The modified Chevrolet Tahoe by Dubai Police Transportation Dept plays a life-saving role on Dubai's accident-prone streets and highways, and the model on display at the motor show has been a prime crowd-puller since opening day.
The Tahoes are front-line troops whenever crashes occur and drivers or passengers are trapped in the wreckage. Their high-power hydraulic spreading and cutting machinery can quickly open crushed bodywork and allow occupants to be freed. They are also used to support sea-rescue operations and during fires when people are trapped in burning buildings.
The Chevrolet Lumina police car is used by forces in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar, with more than 6,500 on duty in Saudi Arabia alone. In Kuwait, the Chevrolet Caprice is the vehicle of choice for police work, while the Jordanian ministry of interior has just signed up for 118 Chevrolet TrailBlazers to do the job.
Chevrolets specified by the Dubai police department are being displayed for the first time at this year's motor show in the city and the specially fitted-out vehicles are proving star attractions:
