The Dutch police currently use different cars of different brands. For example, there is the Mercedes-Benz B-Class. It concerns the 220D gauge, a four-cylinder of 177 hp. The Benz sprints from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 8.6 seconds and can chase crooks at a maximum of 224 kilometers per hour. This diesel will therefore definitely be replaced by an electric car or a petrol variant.
