Dubai Police Adds 200 Toyota Land Cruisers To Its Fleet In Partnership With Al-Futtaim

In a significant boost to public safety efforts, Al-Futtaim Motors, the sole distributor of Toyota in the UAE, recently finalized a deal with the Dubai Police's Transport and Rescue Department. This agreement sees the addition of 200 Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs to the Dubai Police's fleet, marking a notable collaboration aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the local law enforcement in ensuring the safety and security of the community.

The ceremonial event to welcome the new fleet was a high-profile occasion, attended by key figures from both organizations. Representatives from Dubai Police included Major General Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al Ghaithi, the Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Operations, Brigadier Nabil Abdullah Al Rida, the Deputy Director of the General Department of Transport and Rescue, and Lieutenant Colonel Anwar Saleh Al Nimr, the Director of the Police Vehicle Department. From Al-Futtaim Automotive, notable attendees were Antoine Barthes, the Vice President, Yousuf AlRaeesi, the Director of GCR & HSSE, Jacques Brent, the Managing Director for Toyota & Lexus UAE, and Sherif Atwa, the B2B Sales Director for Toyota & Lexus UAE.

Yousuf AlRaeesi expressed his views on the partnership, stating, "As one of the nation's largest automotive companies, Al-Futtaim Automotive is dedicated to serving the community and supporting Dubai Police in their mission to ensure public safety. The fleet expansion marks an exciting new chapter in our continuing collaboration with the authority. It was a privilege to stand alongside senior representatives from Dubai Police, Al-Futtaim Automotive and Toyota to mark this milestone as we deliver 200 units of the legendary SUV into public service, reinforcing our shared commitment to product excellence and advancing the future of mobility in the UAE."

The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300, the latest addition to the fleet, continues a long-standing tradition of Toyota SUVs being a part of the Dubai Police force. Its predecessors include well-regarded models like the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Land Cruiser 70 Series, and the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The LC300 is celebrated for its exceptional durability, off-road prowess, and reliability, making it perfectly suited for the varied and challenging terrains of the UAE.

The LC300 stands out for its advanced technological features and improvements. It boasts a newly developed 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbo engine that offers superior driving performance and efficiency compared to conventional V8 engines.

This, coupled with a new Direct Shift-10AT (10-speed automatic transmission) and a lighter body, enhances the vehicle's environmental performance. Additionally, the LC300 incorporates the latest off-road technologies, such as the E-KDSS (Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) and the Multi-Terrain Monitor and Multi Terrain Select, which adapt the driving mode to the road surface automatically.

The integration of 200 Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs into the Dubai Police fleet underscores a significant commitment towards enhancing public safety in the UAE. This collaboration between Al-Futtaim Motors and the Dubai Police not only highlights the enduring legacy of Toyota vehicles in serving law enforcement needs but also represents a forward-looking approach to utilizing advanced automotive technology in public service.
