Mitsubishi�s Outlander Keeps Lancashire Constabulary�s �Blues and Twos� Green

• Efficient and low emissions Outlander becomes Lancashire Constabulary�s �rural beat� 4x4
• Value for money and high MPG keep fleet running costs down
• Self-servicing status, fleet parts contract and unlimited mileage warranty seals the deal

Lancashire Constabulary has purchased first Outlander 4x4s to replace its older multi-purpose vehicles.  The vehicles are an initial batch of four to be used as rural patrol vehicles with the need for off-roading and excellent handling on country lanes in all weather conditions.
Chris Malkin, Fleet & Transport Manager from Lancashire Constabulary, said that a main reason for choosing the Outlander was a �high mpg with, low carbon emissions,  a reduced environmental impact and low running costs�; the �evaluation staff were attracted to the performance and handling of the vehicle, offering a high specification at a very competitive price�.
The Outlanders will be modified, by Lancashire Constabulary�s in house commissioning team, for Police use with decals, sirens, Mobile Data Terminals, Tetra radio, and emergency lighting to the roof and grille. Chris Malkin added, �the Outlander�s Active Stability and Traction Control system and extra safety features made this an easy decision as we are always pursuing the highest standards for health and safety compliance�, concluding that �this car really did offer the complete package�.
Lancashire Constabulary�s Vehicle Maintenance Unit has been approved as a self-servicing unit, with staff fully trained to Mitsubishi�s high standards so they can carry out all servicing work on the vehicles.
Toby Marshall, Mitsubishi�s General Manager of Fleet and Used cars commented, �it is not hard to see why people are looking at the Outlander to suit their needs... The Outlander had an amazing 2007, with a successful launch in March last year and the Commercial variant won What Van?�s best 4x4 van award. The car range has now been joined by the 2.2 Diesel and 2.4 Petrol MIVEC Auto to complete the line-up�.
