Peugeot endorsed for blue light sales
The National Policing Improvement Agency has awarded preferred supplier status of vehicles and equipment to Peugeot Motor Company in an extensive number of categories including achieving 1st place in the coveted ‘beat car’ category, following a rigorous tender process.
The contract allows all Police, including the Metropolitan Police Service, Fire and Ambulance Authorities to purchase Peugeot’s extensive range of passenger cars and commercial vehicles across a large number of bespoke vehicle categories.
Peugeot’s Specialist Vehicles Operation (PSVO) is a unique manufacturer-owned ‘one stop shop’, based at its Headquarters in Coventry.
