Cop that!

Hyundai has been awarded ‘preferred supplier’ status by the National Association of Police Fleet Managers, which means police forces in the UK will be able to purchase Hyundai cars and vans.
It is expected to give the company a substantial share of the 7,800 vehicles purchased annually for police work outside of London, plus around 2,000 acquired by the Metropolitan force in the capital.
As part of the tender process, experts look closely at the purchase and running costs, performance, quality and the resale value of vehicles.
The most popular Hyundai vehicles are expected to be the i20, i30, ix35, Santa Fe and iLoad van. Several are already on trial at forces around the country.
