Since last summer, a police department in northern Lancaster County has saved about $15,000 in fuel costs by transitioning all patrol vehicles to hybrids, which run on electric power part of the time.
And over the course of four years, itâs estimated those savings will rise to about $130,000, according to Sgt. David Burdis of Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department. Other related savings could add up to even more, he said.
âFuel saving on running a hybrid fleet versus a standard fleet is significant and saves the taxpayer a lot of money,â he said.
On top of that, itâs expected that the hybrid fleet will drastically reduce the patrol vehiclesâ carbon emissions, which have been linked to both poor air quality and climate change.
