“This summer, you might need to look twice when you see VPD traffic officers riding by on their new Zero electric motorcycles because you sure won’t hear them,” said Const. Anne-Marie Clark.
The Vancouver Police Department has engaged itself in a much greener approach by adding two new electric motorcycles to its fleet. The Zero DSRP motorcycle provides the police agencies with a much better solution when approaching a patrol as the bikes will no longer exert loud sounds.

“The Vancouver Police Department selected the Zero DSRP motorcycle for its stealth, low cost of operation, hassle-free maintenance, and minimal environmental impact,” said Inspector Loris Zuccato, Officer in charge of the Vancouver Police Department Traffic Section.
“The Zero DSRP motorcycle will be used on a daily basis on Vancouver city streets and off-road areas. The low-noise and zero-emissions production of the Zero DSRP makes it particularly valuable in patrolling areas such as public parks, trails, and for use during community events.”

Zero developed the Zero DSP, Zero DSRP, and Zero FXP models to meet the specific requirements of law enforcement and security agencies.
“Zero’s police and security lineup has proven to be an invaluable tool for departments of all sizes, across a wide variety of use cases,” said Kevin Hartman, Zero’s Fleet and Authority Sales Director.
“Crossing the 100th agency threshold is not only further validation of the tactical, operational, and economic benefits of electric but also only the beginning of what we expect to be the natural evolution of police and security fleets worldwide.”
