The Jeep Renegade 4xe is making headlines as it takes on a new role as a police cruiser in Rome. This latest move by the Stellantis Group is a significant milestone for the popular B-SUV LEV segment that features low-emission electric cars or Plug-In Hybrids. The fact that the Rome Local Police has chosen the Renegade 4xe as their first SUV with Plug-In Hybrid technology speaks volumes about the capabilities of this vehicle.
Jeep Renegade 4xe has been a best-selling model in Italy. The addition of 40 units to the Local Police Force of Rome Capital, further strengthens the partnership between Stellantis Fleet & Business and the police forces on the national territory. The Police Force of Rome Capital already has over 600 units among the various models of the Stellantis Group, and the Jeep Renegade 4xe Plug-In Hybrid is an excellent addition to the fleet.
Equipped with a 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine and a rear electric motor, the Renegade 4xe boasts a total power of 190 HP. With electrification, the Renegade, like the entire Jeep range, further improves its legendary capability, thanks to the high driving torque ensured by the electric motor. This allows for better control during acceleration phases and off-road driving, where a very small transmission ratio is required. The new all-electric traction technology provides better torque management, which is impossible with a mechanical system.
The customized accessories on the Jeep SUVs covered by the supply are designed to ensure greater vehicle visibility and improve the local police's ability to communicate effectively with citizens during public safety operations. The variable message panel, positioned on the roof bar along with the traditional blue LED flashing lights, allows specific information to be displayed in real-time, such as emergency or road traffic warnings. The lighting equipment is completed by a central LED driving light located in the central front part of the roof and by a pair of rectangular blue LED repeaters positioned on the sides of the grille, next to the front light clusters.
Moreover, the top of the windscreen features an adhesive writing "Polizia Roma Capitale," which makes the vehicle immediately recognizable to drivers preceding it. All these accessories are designed to make the Jeep Renegade 4xe more effective and visible when performing its duties as a police cruiser in the busy streets of Rome.
The partnership between Stellantis Fleet & Business and the police forces on the national territory, especially the Rome Local Police, is an excellent move towards promoting low-emission electric cars or Plug-In Hybrids. With the Jeep Renegade 4xe as the first SUV with Plug-In Hybrid technology in the Rome Local Police fleet, it is no surprise that the best-selling model in Italy in the B-SUV LEV segment is the chosen one. With its advanced technology, impressive capabilities, and customized accessories, the Jeep Renegade 4xe is ready to take on its new role as a police cruiser in Rome.
