O&H Unveils All-New Electric Rapid Response Police Vehicle


O&H Vehicle Conversions, a leader in emergency vehicle manufacturing, has announced an innovative addition to their product range—a fully electric Rapid Response Police Vehicle built on the Skoda Enyaq chassis. This new model marks a significant step forward in the electrification of emergency service vehicles, combining sustainable technology with advanced features tailored to the demanding needs of modern policing.

Key Features

  1. Optimized Storage CapacityThe new Rapid Response vehicle boasts an impressive storage capacity of over 585 liters, providing ample space for essential police equipment. This extensive storage solution is designed to meet the rigorous demands of law enforcement, ensuring that officers have quick and easy access to all necessary tools during emergency situations.
  2. Advanced Battery ManagementThe vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary battery that can be recharged via the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) port, streamlining the recharging process and ensuring that the vehicle remains operational for longer periods. Additionally, the auxiliary battery benefits from continuous recharging through CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar panels, which can recharge up to 80% of the auxiliary battery during a single shift. This solar technology not only enhances the vehicle’s sustainability but also ensures that critical systems remain powered throughout the day.
  3. Integrated Touchscreen ControlsIn a move to enhance ergonomics and driver safety, O&H has integrated the vehicle’s control system directly into the OEM display. This feature reduces the need for additional equipment, thereby minimizing clutter within the cabin and lowering overall costs. The touchscreen interface allows officers to manage various vehicle functions seamlessly, ensuring that they can focus more on their duties and less on navigating complex control systems.
  4. 24/7 Real-Time Fleet ManagementOne of the standout features of the new Rapid Response Police Vehicle is its advanced fleet management system. This technology allows for real-time monitoring of the vehicle’s condition, enabling predictive maintenance that can extend the vehicle’s lifespan and reduce the number of vehicles that are out of service (Vehicle Off Road, VOR). By knowing exactly when and which vehicles need maintenance, police departments can ensure that their fleet remains fully operational at all times, improving response times and overall efficiency.
