What kind of vehicles are generally used by SWAT teams?
1 Answers
SWAT vehicles have been constantly evolving, and different provinces or regions may choose different models as their SWAT vehicles. Here are a few examples: GAC Trumpchi GS8: As a large SUV launched by a domestic brand, it offers a spacious and comfortable interior with a muscular and robust body design. Its wide body provides excellent visibility and flexible steering, though it may feel somewhat bulky to drive. Thus, it meets the SWAT teams' requirements for both space and handling while ensuring comfort during long drives. Ford F350: SWAT vehicles demand strong power performance, excellent body stability, and driving safety. The American Ford F350, a representative of American muscle cars, excels in off-road capability, power, and durability. With its powerful performance, high safety standards, and fully independent suspension ensuring off-road capability, it can handle various low-lying and muddy terrains, making it a favorite among Chinese SWAT units. Fujian Benz Sprinter: SWAT teams often need to maintain public order in certain areas, requiring vehicles that can accommodate a relatively large number of personnel and carry equipment or provide a private workspace. Therefore, they need vehicles with larger, more flexible interiors and strong loading capacity. The Benz Sprinter meets these needs, offering not only a full-size activity space but also a comprehensive suite of electronic stability programs, including high-speed steering brake control and acceleration skid prevention systems for enhanced safety.
