Published on June 1, 2010 by Tycho

Chery QQ Police Car from China
Published on April 13, 2010 by Tycho
Chinese police likes to use Chery’s QQ in busy public spaces as shopping streets and parks, so it is not a very rare sight. The beautifull traffic-lady however, is. Unfortunately they are not so much around anymore since even small villages in the countryside now have traffic lights.
The lack of an electricity-network along roads was the reason for not having those but the new ones work on solar power and so don’t need any network. The sun, yes she, took men their girls of the streets. The QQ police car in the first picture has a sunroof right in front of the warning lights, nice touch. Read more »

Brilliance-BMW 5 for Shanghai Police
Published on March 31, 2010 by Tycho
The Shanghai traffic police received 20 brand new Brilliance-BMW 530’s for duty during the Shanghai Expo 2010. That old fashioned little party will start May first and last 6 months. The city counsel is expecting millions of visitors who must be impressed with Shanghai’s riches and that ain’t easy with a Santana. I did expect though that Shanghai would use Shanghai-VW’s (modern ones) or Shanghai-GM’s. I saw some pics of an electricalexpirimental police-Buickthing but that doesn’t really count. Come on SAIC, don’t let those northern cowmen (known as Dongbeiren in Chinese) steal your moment!

Shuanghuan Noble Police Car
Published on March 26, 2010 by Tycho
Shuanghuan became world famous when it copied the Smart. “But our engine is in the front!”, so Shuanghuan said. Indeed, it is not the same. Chinese police likes the little not copied car to check on civilians in crowded areas and neighbourhouds with small streets and many alleys.

Audi Q7 Police Car from China
Published on March 13, 2010 by Tycho
A policecar can never be big enough. Police, or rather a fortunate boss, got himself a 1.65 million rmb Audi Q7 4.2. Chinese, still not the richest in the world, criticize the government, but not too loud of course, for spending their tax money in such a way. This particulair car was seen by spotmen 3 times, they all posted their picture on the web to show their ‘anger’. At the same time they love the car and indeed, a fine piece of machinery is it.

Incalcu Policecar from China
Published on March 9, 2010 by Tycho
Today a very special police car from Beijing. It is a electric 4-wheel mini car and most likely used in parks or other public places. The characters on the bonnet say 警察, jingcha, meaning ‘police’. The two yellow characters say 巡逻, xunluo, meaning ‘on duty’. I had never seen the thing before even though I live in Beijing for seven long years.
