• Over 100 Vivaro Electric vans, the top-selling e-LCV in the UK, have been adopted by police forces, along with more than 200 Vauxhall Corsa Electrics

Vauxhall is currently exhibiting its latest range of electric vehicles at the 49th National Association of Police Fleet Managers’ Conference (NAPFM) in Telford on July 4th and 5th.

The brand is showcasing its diverse and expanding range of electric vehicles, including a marked Corsa Electric patrol car, Vivaro Electric cell van, and the upcoming Astra Electric. Vauxhall’s special vehicle operations team, led by Richard Abbott, Head of Specialist Fleet, will also be present at the event.

Vauxhall’s participation in the conference underscores its longstanding association with the UK’s Police Forces. As police fleets across the country transition to electric vehicles at a rapid pace, Vauxhall has become a key partner to a number of forces. Starting from next year, Vauxhall will offer an electric version of every vehicle in its lineup and will become an electric-only manufacturer by 2028.

Currently, over 100 Vivaro Electric vans are in use by police forces in the UK, with the first ones deployed over a year ago. In addition, more than 200 Corsa Electric vehicles have been utilized as neighborhood patrol cars since 2021. The upcoming release of the Astra Electric has also generated interest among police forces, ahead of its arrival later this summer.

Prior to its release, the Astra Electric is being modified by fleet specialists to suit police requirements.

James Taylor, Managing Director of Vauxhall, stated, “Vauxhall has had a long-standing association with the UK’s Police Forces, and we are pleased that the forces continue to choose Vauxhall as they transition to electric vehicles. Our presence at the 49th National Association of Police Fleet Managers’ Conference helps demonstrate the range and capabilities of our expanding lineup of electric cars and vans at this critical time.

“Vauxhall is currently one of the few companies in the UK that can offer an electric variant across its entire van range, with the Vivaro Electric being the best-selling electric van in the country. With over 100 already serving as police vehicles, it’s another testament to the capabilities of the Vauxhall electric range.”
