The Toyota bZ4X, an electric car for chic English parks

The Toyota bZ4X stands out in the UK with a singular mission: to transform parks, green spaces and even cemeteries into true havens of peace. In London’s upscale Kensington and Chelsea, electric crossovers are now replacing diesel vehicles, helping reduce local emissions.

The Toyota bZ4X may not top the list of the most popular electric cars on our roads, but in the UK, this electric crossover has found a special purpose: turning parks, green spaces and even cemeteries into veritable havens of peace.

In the English capital districts of Kensington and Chelsea, a Toyota bZ4X copy has replaced the diesel vehicle. This choice arises from the fact that this model does not emit any particles locally. In addition to its positive environmental impact, the bZ4X offers enough capacity to transport all the necessary equipment, while being maneuverable enough to navigate small trails.

City Councilor Emma Will, responsible for parks and recreation, expressed her commitment by announcing: “We are committed to becoming a greener metropolis and achieving net zero by 2030. The introduction of the new Park Police vehicle is another step in the right direction. All of our vehicles in the parks are now electric and we are considering expanding this fleet elsewhere.”

For the occasion, the bZ4X was dressed in official police livery and displayed vibrant colors of flashing green, blue and red, with signaling equipment including a rotating beacon on its roof.. It is obvious that this electric model will not be used to find criminals behind the wheel of powerful cars. Its main use is to travel at moderate speeds and to tackle tasks that do not require a lot of power or extreme endurance.

Don’t forget that the bZ4X offers a maximum range of 504 km. Available in two- and four-wheel drive versions, it can generate up to 218 hp when equipped with two electric motors. In France, its starting price is 49,000 euros.
