In the context of the transformation of automobile electrification, the New York City Government has taken an important step. Recently, the New York City Administrative Services Department announced that they will spend $11.5 million to purchase 184 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT electric SUV from Ford, and the new owners will be provided to the New York City Police Department, the New York City Sheriff's Office and the Department of Environmental Protection, the vast majority of which will be used for law enforcement operations. According to the agreement reached between the two sides, the new car will be delivered by June 30 next year.

Replacing traditional fuel vehicles with the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is a small step in the electrification of the NYPD's more than 6,200 "light law enforcement vehicles." The Director of the New York City Mayor's Office of Climate and Sustainability said in a statement: "With today's procurement, we are ensuring that our law enforcement and patrol vehicles are gradually free from pollution to face a greener future." “
The claim was echoed by New York City Sheriff Joseph Fucito, who said the use of electric enforcement vehicles was a powerful step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the risk of respiratory disease, reducing noise and ending a long-term dependence on fossil fuels. At the same time, it said that the protection of people and the environment is also an important goal of public safety in the future.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is a pure electric SUV launched by Ford this year, which is driven by dual motors front and rear, with a maximum output of 359 kW (487 hp), a peak torque of 860 Nm, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 3.65 seconds. The car's strong performance may further enhance the deterrent power of Law Enforcement in New York.
