The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Presumably, PDRM version will be in white

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has acquired 25 units of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (with manual transmission) which will be used alongside the Proton Wajas and Iswaras as patrolcars. The purchase was rumoured for some time but the PDRM did not officially comment on it and it was thought that the cars might be used for undercover purposes.

High-performance models are nothing new to the PDRM and even as far back as the 1970s, the force had a fleet of 2-litre Alfa Romeo Alfettas, the first police force outside Italy to use the Italian cars. Marketed by City Motors at that time, they were assembled at the Swedish Motor Assemblies plant in Shah Alam, Selangor.

Later on, during the 1980s, the police also purchased a small fleet of Ford TX3s which were used for undercover operations. The cars were unmarked and little was known about them other than that they existed. Around that time, other government agencies like the Customs also used models like the Citroen BX and BMW 318i in order to pursue criminals who had fast machines.

Alfa Romeo Alfetta was first high-performance patrolcar used by the PDRM in 1970s

Ford TX3 was known to be used for undercover operations

Volvo 850 T5 was used by Highway Patrol for many years

The Highway Patrol also uses some Proton Satria GTIs In the 1990s, the Highway Patrol got the powerful Volvo 850 T5 stationwagons which were ideal for use on the North-South Highway. The stationwagons served for some time but today, the Highway Patrol uses Mitsubishi Pajeros, Nissan X-Trails and some Proton Satria GTIs.

The PDRM will be sending its Evo drivers for special training courses so that they will be able to make full use of the car

It says ...

PDRM says the Evos will be used in high-speed car chases, particularly in cases of carjacking, kidnapping and highjacking, and kopi mpney

 

Bold = I say one.

 

[Pcslim]

Hmm... what will happen to their proton then? Will it be phased out eventually? Seems like they are losing confidence in their own make.

 

Must support their own home-grown products mah. Just like how singapore uses its locally-built bionix and bronco widely.
