Anyone know if the i30 are just regular. They hardly expect traffic to use them.
Anything else showing up yet?

Youd like to think so - but then again they used the Avensis for traffic - so I suspect its a case of they buy a big order of random cars.

And traffic just have to take what is available - don't know the story tbh - but that's the impression I get as an outsider tbh.

Should have a separate tender for traffic really - if they want to take Traffic Corps seriously going forward :rolleyes:.

Separate tenders mean - or should mean - in theory - that you don't end up with manufacturers who don't have a car suitable for traffic getting the big order.

And traffic having to use some crappy Avensis or i40 type stuff.

Just my opinion

- apologies for any upset caused.

Happy new year to all on boards.ie

So it is true, resources in traffic are so low, they have the ERU lads doing nixers.

Resource for traffic is so low we dont see them on the road, armed units in DMR are underpressure so much there moving call to call at the moment so much happening,

best results i could see expand Regional Support Unit to by double current amounts ( no figure please) expand cars to 6 units in current bases over current ( no figure please). RSU units in DMR is so badly needed give more regular units on the streets quicker assitance leaving the SDU and ERU to do operations

The unmarked Isuzu D-Max is used by the Special Detective Unit's Emergency Response Unit (ERU), was delivered as part of 2011 Traffic Corps consignment, they are great for holding equipment, and the ERU could have a few more of them...

That Mitsubishi white jeep belong to the Gardaí as well? Any better pictures of it?

The Mitsubishi Pajero is marked and belongs to the Dog Support Unit (as you can see above), but it doesn't have a lightbar for some strange reason. I'm not sure about the unmarked Nissan Terrano, could be negotiators or maybe Garda "techies" (regional technical staff who can run small surveillance ops without National Surveillance Unit/NSU, and are also good with communication equipment).

They seem to be touting the 2.0 EcoBoost , probably a good engine then

Think I posted pic of it a long time ago , as well as that gold Nissan/Ford Terrano, the unmarked double cab Isuzu is a new one to me, tho' Traffic and the Airport APFS use them

I can see why the AGS make decisions based on cost - but even within the Ford range - you've got the 2.0 ecoboost as featured in your post.

And in UK you can buy a 163 ps 2.0 diesel in the Focus - and a 1.6 ecoboost with 182 bhp (turbocharged).

Such things provide options for the likes of Traffic corps rather then messing about with 1.6 and 1.7 diesels.

Wouldn't surprise me if they started using i40s on traffic when cars are running short :rolleyes:

Presuming the 198 bhp cars are for the very highest training level in terms of Garda driver training - then presumably - if the right deal can be done .

There is nothing to prevent the purchase of cars with plenty of power in future - in theory obviously.

Yes there for the advanced degree in driving course

It was limited purchase in 2013 they can purchase then like everything goes down to cost

Probably but you still need it to train members how to drive them first.
