Having used Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores as the main Traffic and Highway Patrol enforcement vehicles for decades, and with both manufacturers ceasing Australian production last year, the command undertook a global fleet review to identify vehicles best suited for Australian law enforcement purposes.
Following an exhaustive and comprehensive three-year search, which included rigorous assessment and testing of 17 different variants of several vehicles, the BMW 530d and Chrysler SRT Core were chosen to replace Ford and Holden models.
Cowra Highway Patrol is awaiting exact information regarding the arrival of the new replacements, but expect to have one by the end of July or beginning of August.
Two highway patrol cars are stationed at Cowra.
