The gendarmerie orders from Alpine

The gendarmerie and Alpine meet again. After the A110s of the end of the 1960s, the police will once again be equipped with “plombettes” during their missions, the Ministry of the Interior announced this Wednesday.

" TO Following a competitive tender initiated in June 2021, the Ministry of the Interior will acquire rapid intervention vehicles for the National Gendarmerie, reads the statement. Our Company Renault won the market, with the model Alpine A110 Pure; this market was notified on October 11, for four years. An order for 26 copies was placed."

These 26 A110 Pures will allow the gendarmes to “ carry out interventions on motorways, involving offending cars at high speed, as part of road safety or judicial police missions (drug trafficking for example),” indicates the Ministry of the Interior which also specifies that two of them will be dedicated to rapid intervention training.

Built and assembled in Dieppe, the 26 cars delivered by the manufacturer to A fléché will pass through the workshops of the Durisotti company to be equipped there. “ Their order contributes to the modernization and rejuvenation of the automobile fleet engaged for 2 years by the Ministry of the Interior."
