The 300 over of Proton cars of the Humberside’s 650 police fleet are either Proton Gen-2 ecoLogic, Persona or Impian models.Humberside Police won the top award in the National Energy Efficiency Awards by running the vast majority of its fleet on Liquified Petroleum Gas. Most Protons are dual fuel, running both LPG and unleaded petrol.Alan Hocking, from Humberside Police, explains: “We began trialling LPG vehicles in 1996 and we’ve never looked back. 70 per cent of our fleet that run on LPG are Proton vehicles and we encourage our drivers to run on LPG 90 per cent of the time if possible. For us, the Proton Gen-2 represents great value for money and helps us run a more economical and ecological fleet.”
