Škoda's NZ Police Partnership Drives Efficiency Gains

Škoda New Zealand has extended its fleet deal with the New Zealand Police, providing vehicles that deliver on performance and efficiency. The partnership started four years ago when Škoda supplied Superb Prime 1 patrol vehicles to replace Holden Commodores.

The results have been impressive: these new Superbs are achieving approximately 20% better fuel economy compared to their predecessors. This improvement translates into significant cost savings over time, a clear win for the police and taxpayers alike.

According to Škoda New Zealand General Manager Alex Brown, 'We're thrilled to continue working alongside the New Zealand Police.' He emphasizes that this partnership goes beyond mere vehicle supply; it's about supporting frontline officers who serve communities every day.

The vehicles supplied by Škoda are purpose-built for demanding environments, reflecting close collaboration between the Czech factory partners and local operation. This bespoke approach ensures that the Superbs meet specific New Zealand Police requirements.

Škoda's nationwide dealer and service network plays a crucial role in maintaining the fleet's reliability. Their Parts and Distribution Centre boasts an impressive 98% first-pick rate, demonstrating a commitment to efficiency and support for police operations.
