NEW ROCHELLE, NY (June 13, 2022) — The New Rochelle Police Department will be putting into service the first Hybrid Electric Police Patrol Ford Explorers.
The goal is to switch the patrol fleet to hybrids over the next few years, saving the city money in fuel costs and reducing the city’s carbon footprint.
The hybrid configuration allows the engine to shut down without interrupting the supply of electricity required to keep the vehicles’ computers and communication devices working.
