Proposal for homegrown emergency services EV attracts interest from industry and two state governments
It captured the imagination of Australia’s decimated automotive industry when it was proposed in June and now the prospect of a homegrown electric emergency services vehicle has attracted the attention of at least two state governments.
The so-called Electric Police Car project is based around a battery-powered, autonomous, multi-purpose, modular vehicle platform that would be designed, developed and manufactured in Australia and employed by local police, ambulance, fire and rescue organisations.
