Vauxhall to supply Welsh Police Authorities

Vauxhall, the largest vehicle supplier to the UK’s police forces, has announced that the police forces in Wales will soon once again be driving them. Vauxhall won the bid to be the vehicle provider for the Welsh Police Authorities in a contract lasting until 2014 with an option to extend a further year. Vauxhall cars will now be supplied to North Wales Police, Dyfed Powys Police, South Wales Police, and Gwent Police. This contract now ensures that Vauxhall will serve about 80% of UK Police Authorities, as 41 out of 52 are using Low and Intermediate Performance Vehicles from Vauxhall. "Vauxhall provides fit for purpose high quality products at a competitive price,” said Ray Forsey, The South Wales Police Authorities’ Fleet Manager. Part of the deal also includes Vauxhall providing Movano Police Protected Support Units (PSUs). South Wales and Dyfed Powys Police are the first two authorities in Wales and the UK to order full turnkey vehicles from a vehicle manufacturer. For more on Vauxhall, please visit their website here.
