Victoria Police Have The Coolest New Car

Victoria Police have hit the road with the coolest patrol car we've ever seen! Say hello to the Mercedes-AMG E 43.

Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer says the Guardian has an extensive range of innovative safety features. “Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz is about highlighting safety features in vehicles; we want to be part of the discussion around what safer cars look like and know that having the Guardian V2 out and about in the community does this.

“Operational members will use the car to patrol the roads; will show the car at community events, it is important to us to highlight what real safety looks like and to have conversations with community around this.

“We know that three out of four deaths on country roads happen in cars that are older than 10 years and that a new car will stay on our roads for about 20 years. So the quicker we see these advancements in technology in our new cars the quicker it will be passed down to our teenagers, to our most vulnerable, when they are buying their second hand cars.

The new Guardian V2 replaces last year’s Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe as an operational highway patrol car and is on loan to Victoria Police for the next year.

Last years Mercedes for Victoria Police.
