The Toyota Land Cruiser, new ally of the Guardia Civil in the Campo de Gibraltar

The Guardia Civil has strengthened its fleet in the Campo de Gibraltar with the addition of 73 units of the Toyota Land Cruiser, which will begin service very soon. The inclusion of these new police vehicles is part of the process of reinforcing the State’s security forces in the border area between Cádiz and Gibraltar. This area, as is well known, is experiencing a security problem, and the presence of these new vehicles will help strengthen security in the area.

The purchase of these 73 Toyota Land Cruisers was managed by the State Secretariat for Security of the Ministry of the Interior, on which the Directorate General of the Guardia Civil depends. The vehicles acquired are of the current generation, not the one that is about to arrive, and they will be assigned to active service.

Wrapped and undercover vehicles

The fleet consists of 73 units, but only 52 units have been fitted with the Guardia Civil’s own livery. These carry the traditional livery of the armed corps, in green and white. They also feature the police kit, which includes emergency lights, radio and communication equipment, and the rest of the equipment needed to carry out their police duties.

The other 21 Land Cruisers have been delivered without the Guardia Civil’s own identification and will be used for police tasks that require a less visible presence. These are available in different body colours, so there is a good aesthetic variety among the vehicles delivered.

All the units have been adapted from the five-door body version of the Toyota Land Cruiser GX, featuring a very prominent and practical front bumper. The engine in this variant is a 2.8-litre diesel unit that delivers a considerable 204 CV of power.
