According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MAI), this is the largest procedure for centralised vehicle contracting since the centralised State Vehicle Pool system was implemented in 2008.
The assignment of these vehicles falls within the scope of the Infrastructure and Equipment Programming Law of the Security and Armed Forces and Services and involves a total investment of around 50 million euros.
The ceremony of delivery of the 48 vehicles to the PSP Police was chaired by the Minister for Home Affairs, Eduardo Cabrita at the PSP’s Lisbon Metropolitan Command.
