Next Generation Police Vehicle

The Next Generation Police Vehicle (NGPV) is an experimental vehicle project in development with the White Wolves Research & Development Unit in collaboration with the Territorial Police Force and McLaren Automotive. The aim is to create the "perfect" police car, with the basic requirements including high-level of driver protection, a high-speed and heavy-duty engine, durable frame and body and versatility.

Upon completion of the project, targeted at 2026, the NGPV will become the new standard vehicle of the TPF, but does not look set to replace any cars, instead it's own unit will be formed.

The car will be using a hybrid engine co-developed by White Wolves and McLaren, which will produce 1,200 brake horsepower

The car will also feature an integrated, aerodynamic lightbar.

NGPV-H
During the early production of the NGPV, the Hydrogen Energy Commission put forward that a Hydrogen powerplant could be installed in the car in place of both the internal combustion engine and electric motors. This would reduce the weight of the vehicle considerably as it removes two powerplants and their power sources, liquid fuel and batteries, respectively.

In their place, would go Hydrogen motors similar to that already in White Wolves production, and the HEC's ultra-compact Hydrogen cells. These motors and Hydrogen cells are noted for their efficiency and range, respectively.

While this change seemed very favourable on paper, it did pose it's own negatives. Firstly, it would go against the "versatility" aim of the design brief, as it means that the car would have to return to the TPF station, rather than using a conventional petrol station.
