Dubai Police have added a high-performance electric patrol car to the force's growing fleet to aid efforts to boost traffic management and improve incident response times.
The Zeekr 001 is the latest electric vehicle to be acquired by the force as the UAE steps up a long-term clean energy drive. It has 544 horsepower and can accelerate from zero to 100kph in 3.8 seconds.
The car is equipped with a 100 kilowatt-hour battery, providing a range of up to 580km on a single charge.
Brig Juma bin Suwaidan, acting director of Dubai traffic police, said the introduction of the cutting-edge patrol vehicles would support a major push to harness advanced technology to enhance “both traffic management and security operations”.
“These patrols will significantly improve the quality of police and traffic services in Dubai, offering the highest service levels to the public,” he said. “They aim to improve response times and ensure swift arrival at incidents, ultimately enhancing police visibility in the field and strengthening public trust in the police force.”
Dubai Police has amassed an impressive collection of supercars over the years, including a Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari FF, Bentley Continental GT and a limited-edition Aston Martin One-77.
Supercars in the force's green and white livery are often seen at national events such as the Dubai Marathon, cycling's UAE Tour and other parades and celebrations.
In October 2022, Dubai Police added its first electric vehicle to its ranks. The Hongqi E-HS9 vehicle can go from zero to 100 kph in five seconds. It has a range of about 440km and can be fully charged from flat in six to eight hours.
In February, the force unveiled the Lotus Eletre R, an all-electric SUV.

How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
