Spanish Police Take Delivery<br />
of 169 Electrified BMWs<br />
Spanish police in the city<br />
of Madrid have purchased 169<br />
electrified vehicles from BMW<br />
to renew a portion of its vehicle<br />
fleet.<br />
The authorities will take delivery<br />
of BMW i3, BMW 225xe<br />
Active Tourer, BMW 220i Active<br />
Tourer, BMW 530i, and BMW X5<br />
xDrive30d models as part of the<br />
deal with the German car manufacturer.<br />
Approximately onethird<br />
of the vehicles delivered<br />
will be EVs and plug-in hybrids<br />
while the rest will be mild-hybrids<br />
with 48-volt systems.<br />
The Madrid Municipal Police<br />
will use the vehicles for a variety<br />
of functions. For example,<br />
the all-electric models will<br />
be used primarily in Central<br />
Madrid while the X5s can be<br />
equipped with a host of accessories,<br />
including a snow<br />
shovel, winch, traction strap,<br />
and hooks.<br />
A handful of these cars were<br />
handed over to the Madrid<br />
Municipal Police during a<br />
ceremony with Madrid mayor<br />
José Luis Martínez-Almeida,<br />
BMW Group Spain and Portugal<br />
executive chairman Manuel<br />
Terroba, and the general<br />
director of the Municipal Police,<br />
Pablo Enrique Rodríguez<br />
Pérez.<br />
While the BMW i3 is far<br />
from the most imposing vehicle<br />
out there, it has been used by a<br />
number of police forces around<br />
the world since its introduction.<br />
These include forces in Austria,<br />
Romania, Italy, and the United<br />
States, including the Los Angeles<br />
Police Department.<br />
Interestingly, BMW ended<br />
production of the i3 in August<br />
so it is unclear where it<br />
has sourced these new police<br />
vehicles from. One possibility<br />
is that they were all built prior<br />
to August or that they were<br />
i3s without buyers that were<br />
rounded up and converted into<br />
police vehicles.<br />
