As for mondeo's they tick all the right boxes and very reliable speaking from having family member owning a ford dealership and been in several of them but most recent was the 07 mondeo. Ballymun have all of them marked and they are running perfect!

He also able to show the location of all other mitsubushi outlanders in the UK on Google maps that very moment . It also showed a clip of a jeep in the us that was being remotely controlled ,the driver was applying the brake foot flat to the floor but the computer operator overrode the signal causing the jeep to go into trees, all be it very slowly, but the point was the vehicle was being controlled by someone other than the driver. Just imagine if the wrong people were able to control a vehicle gardai were driving.

They had no warranty agreement with Volvo on repairs but it turned more expensive. As for smaller flat bed trucks they use VW which is why DFB have the mini bus and county council have the cage on top of the flatbed trucks. For vans and ambulances they went with ford hence the heap of transits. They received some Mercedes as gifts/handovers from the NHS in Cambridgeshire. Something similar to how gards got the Volvo D5 from the uk.
