Ford Motor to sell new police cruiser to replace Crown Victoria after 2011 phase-out

Article Tools

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - Ford Motor Co. says it plans to sell a new police cruiser vehicle to replace the Crown Victoria once the sedan is phased out of production in 2011.

Ford says the new car will be more fuel efficient and offer lower ownership costs to municipalities than the existing Crown Victoria law enforcement vehicles.

Though the Crown Victoria is popular among police departments, the large sedan is relatively inefficient, getting an EPA-estimated average of 19 mpg. Ford says it will unveil the details of the new car in the first quarter next year.

Ford says it sells about 45,000 police vehicles a year, about 75 percent of all police vehicles sold in the U.S.
