Toyota is joining forces with the Berlin Police to introduce a fleet of green patrol cars on the streets of the German city. The carmaker offers a first lot of three Prius units to the police, as part of a program calls “Initiative 120”. which aims to reduce the police force’s carbon footprint.
The first step of the program will see the Berlin Police use 11 eco-focused vehicles, also including the Opel Ampera, Renault Fluence sedan Z.E. and Kangoo Van Z.E., as well as the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. The Berlin Police aims to introduce multiple green vehicles to its vehicle pool in the future, with these required to have CO2 emissions of under 120 grams per km.
