Singapore Traffic Police Fleets 19 Polestar 2 EVs
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) will soon deploy 19 high-performance Polestar 2 EVs to its Traffic Police Expressway Patrol Car fleet.
These new additions are scheduled to hit the roads in the second half of 2025.
The Polestar 2 was selected following a tender exercise in 2023, as part of the service’s push to integrate EVs into their fleet. This move will make Traffic Police the first enforcement agency in Singapore to operate electric patrol vehicles.
According to Senior Assistant Commissioner Daniel Tan, this initiative reflects the force’s commitment to sustainability, in line with Singapore’s broader green agenda.
In terms of performance, the Polestar 2 offers quicker acceleration than the agency’s current BMW 325d and Volvo S80 patrol vehicles. Assistant Superintendent Sam Tai detailed that the Polestar 2 does 0-100 KM/H in 4.5 secs, though its 205 KM/H top speed is lower than the BMW’s 245 KM/H.
Expressway patrol cars are deployed for accident response, enforcement operations, and assisting motorists in need.
The Police-spec Polestar 2 wears a white base coat with orange and blue reflective markings. Notably, it’s the first in the fleet to be equipped with run-flat tyres, allowing it to travel up to 80 KM after a puncture.
Modifications done include a solid metal roof, emergency light bars, external message boards and an upgraded cabin with reinforced upholstery, steel rear partitions and reprofiled front seats designed for duty belt comfort.
For security, the Polestar’s built-in online connectivity has also been disabled to prevent remote tampering. The cars are also fitted with automated number plate recognition and live video streaming to the command centre.
A custom digital dashboard alerts officers the moment a flagged vehicle is detected, complementing tech upgrades introduced to the fleet since 2020.
The contract for the 19 EVs is valued at around SG$3.8 million (RM12.7 million). It includes a 10-year maintenance package.
Additionally, 120 kW DCFCs are also being prepared at the Traffic Police headquarters to facilitate vehicle charging needs. The Polestar 2’s 82 kWh battery takes about 1.5 hours to charge-up and offers a driving range of 593 KM.
