Thursday, April 28, the 13 Hours newscast presents the new cars used by the gendarmes, Alpine A110s with which they carry out road checks.
Aboard their new Alpine A110a model that can reach 250 km / h, the gendarmes carry out road checks. This new racing car is used for high speeding. “It is a vehicle that is quite light, so its engine allows us to pick up speed quite quickly and to be able to intercept the vehicle“, details Chief Warrant Officer Philippe monsoof the rapid intervention team of the Auxerre brigade (Yonne).
The history of the gendarmerie and the Alpine dates back to 1966, since it was already used by law enforcement at the time. Chief Warrant Officer monso was selected to drive it, after training on a professional circuit. With its atypical silhouette, the Alpine is a driver deterrent. The rapid intervention brigades of the gendarmerie will be equipped with 26 new vehicles.
