California company UP.FIT has developed a Cybertruck police cruiser, and says it will start deliveries this year.
UP.FIT, a division of Unplugged Performance put together the police packagePickup trucks are a popular option with police departments all over the globe, and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to envisage electric trucks also being used by the men and women in blue.According to the company, it has already received interest from police departments and other agencies for its Cybertruck police cruiser and will start shipments later this year.
Typical police equipment include flashing lights, sirens, a PA system, as well as a separate computer system and a radio communications system. Depending on the application, UP.FIT can also customize the Cybertruck with prisoner partitions, storage for weapons and other equipment, and K9 enclosures.To handle long stints of hard driving, UP.FIT can also install heavy-duty suspension and brake hardware.
UP.FIT isn't the first to build an electric truck for police duty. Ford's SSV program already presented one as early as 2022 Modern EVs with their strong acceleration and range estimates of 300 miles or more have the potential to be excellent police cruisers. It's not hard to imagine police officers using them to silently creep up on perps or jump ahead of a vehicle trying to flee the scene. The quiet, smooth operation of EVs also tends to be relaxing for occupants, and this should help to reduce stress and let officers concentrate on their surroundings.
