Police departments love Ford vehicles. In fact, the Ford Motor Company has more than 80 percent of that specific market. That’s why the automaker has had to find ways to make its police-issue vehicles better for the environment.

(Okay, so they’re not going to be green literally. But they will be safer for the environment).
The 2008 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor models feature the technology to use flexible fuel. As a result, they can use E85 ethanol fuel. This makes them friendlier to the environment than their previous counterparts. In addition, the new models can also use gasoline or a combination of gasoline and E85 ethanol.

With the new models, Ford has achieved something very few other automakers have accomplished: Fifty-State Certification. Much of Ford’s lineup of passenger vehicles passes the emissions standards of every state in the nation, including California. And with the strict regulations of The Golden State, that’s no small feat!

Ford has already released more than two million vehicles that operate on flexible fuel. By 2012, the automaker wants to have at least half of its entire production running on more eco-friendly fuels. You can already purchase a Ford hybrid in the Escape or the Mercury Mariner if that’s what you’re looking for. Those two represent just the first step in a long line of new and exciting improvements you’ll find at the Ford Motor Company.
