2012 Model Year Police Vehicle Evaluation Program.

PB2013101107

Publication Date	2011
Personal Author	Schrauben, D.; Flegel, J.
Page Count	126
Abstract	All of the cars were tested with a clean roof (no overhead light or light bar) and without 'A' pillar mount spotlights. We believe this is the best way to ensure all of the vehicles are tested on an equal basis. Remember that once overhead lights, spotlights, radio antennas, sirens, and other emergency equipment are installed, overall performance may be somewhat lower than we report. Each vehicle was tested with the tires that are available as original equipment on the production model. Specific tire information for each vehicle is available in the Vehicle Description portion of this report. All vehicles listed in this report were equipped with electronic speed limiters. Motorcycles were tested with equipment installed as provided by their respective manufacturer. Harley-Davidson chose to test their bikes with minimal equipment. BMW, Kawasaki and Victory chose to test their bikes with the majority of the equipment installed.
