Saat ini teknologi Hybrid lagi gencar-gencarnya dipopulerkan. Hal ini dikarenakan makin maraknya isu global warming. Toyota dan Honda meupakan pabrik mobil yang lagi mempopulerkan Teknologi Mobil Hybrid sebagai solusi menghemat BBM dan mengatasi pencemaran lingkungan. Cara kerja mesin listrik dengan prinsip regenerative (isi ulang/recharging saat kendaraan sedang beroperasi) pada mesin hybrid, berbeda dengan mobil tenaga listrik penuh. Mobil tersebut tidak bisa mengisi ulang listriknya. Bila listriknya habis, Batterai/aki harus di-charge secara khusus dengan waktu 8 hingga 12 jam (untuk teknologi charger onboard). Khusus mesin hybrid, mesin listriknya bisa mengisi ulang ke aki dengan memanfaatkan kinetic energy saat mengerem (regenerative brakeing). Bahkan sebagian energi mesin dari mesin bensin/solar/bio fuel saat berjalan listriknya bisa disalurkan untuk mengisi batterai/aki. Dengan sistem operasi seperti ini maka akan terjadi penghematan BBM. Di Kota Tokyo Jepang, truk dan bus sudah banyak yang memakai tenaga mesin system hybrid karena dinilai amat efisien/hemat BBM dan mengurangi polusi. Jenis mesin hybrid secara umum ada yang memakai sistem paralel dan sistem seri, namun yang paling umum adalah parallel. Mesin listrik pada kendaran hybrid sebenarnya hanyalah sebagai penunjang atau bisa disebut booster, pada mesin utama yang memakai bensin ataupun solar. Mesin listrik yang kecil pada kendaraan jenis hybrid tak akan kuat menjalankan mobil secara normal. Perkembangan teknologi mesin hybrid memang kini semakin pesat. Begitu pula dalam pengisian ulang listriknya yang semakin canggih, cepat, dan tenaga mesin listriknya semakin besar.

There is one type of car no one would like to see in the rearview mirror: the police car. I have gathered some models of police cars which are a little bit different from the stereotype of a typical police car. These models are cool, have enough horsepower to follow any fast lawbreaker. Police cars come in different shapes, sizes and colors, but they all have the same main purpose: uphold the law, and provide officers the perfect transportation mean, in order to keep cities in order.
Mini Smart Car is the best one for the crowded streets of Austria. This compact car can cut through corners easily and it has a top speed of 135 Km/hr. This little car is used in more countries in Europe and it is very efficient because it can easily sneak in crowded place, and it offers a good speed for following the thieves or other lawbreakers. It looks pretty funny, but when you see it in the rearview mirror it becomes scary.
Porche Carrera offers officers 325 horses and a top speed of 285 Km/hr. This is one of the fastest police cars, it is used in the same country as the MiniSmart, but it looks more sporty and it has a more elegant design. This car has a permanent place in Germany, at the Porche museum. It has an imposing design, and it can easily intimidate infractors.
The Dodge Charger is used in the U.S.A and it was first presented at the New York auto show in 2005. It is powered by a 425 hp engine which offers 233 Km/hr and it is used across 50 states; it can charge from 0 to 100 Km/hr in six seconds and it has a very sturdy and stable design. It looks very nice, and it helps police officers reach the fast and furious drivers which cross the speed limit.
Italy can be proud of these beasts patrolling on the freeways around Rome. This Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 has a 525 hp engine, a roaring one, which can zoom from 0 to 100 Km/hr in only 3.7 seconds. This car has been donated by the producer to the Italian authorities and apart from speed, this wonderful police car has some interesting additional features, like : automatic number plate recognition system, forward looking camera, and a trunk in front which can be used as a first-response medical platform. When needed, it can also transport organs, because it also has a refrigerated box, for high-speed transport in accidents or medical emergencies.
In London you can see police officers driving same Lamborghini cars, but a different model: Murcielago LP640. There are no more BMW 535d patrol cars since this type of cars have been purchased to keep London safe. This car is an Italian car, and it offers 6.5 Litre engine and four wheel drive, it can reach a 330 km/h and it can go from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.4 seconds. It looks good and I think it fits with the Londonese landscape, but also with Londonese lawbreakers.
Police cars in India are modest, and I think that the authorities use the officer's force more than the cars' power. This nice car is one of the police cars in India, and it has quite simple specifications, and nothing outrageous.
In Holland, police officers use this nice Spyker C8 Spider which has 406hp and a 300km/h (187 mph)Â and goes from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.8 seconds.
A sheriff in Texas has a H2 Hummer, which provides him 700 hp with a 7.0 L engine. This is a powerful car, and I think it is very efficient and helps very easily the sheriff to reestablish order in this state.
In each country, there are used the cars the authorities considered perfect for their protection purposes, and they are also adapted to the level of criminality in those countries. There are also very well trained police officers, who can easily handle these cool cars. I don't wish anyone to look in the rearview mirror and see one of these powerful cars with the light and audio signals turned on to make him stop. As you can observe, the possibilities are different in various countries, but I think everyone is trying to offer the best for their police departments, because it is a very important aspect in the social life, and keeping it safe is a national interest matter.
