The Local Government Board of Vigo has approved a contract that will see the addition of 15 vehicles to the local police fleet, addressing the needs generated by the recent expansion of the police personnel. The contract, which will run until 2030, was awarded to Fraikin Assets SAS, a leading European vehicle rental and fleet management company.
Over the next four years, the Concello de Vigo will allocate €3,429,624 for the rental of a total of 32 vehicles, with an average annual cost of €857,351. This decision comes as the local police force has welcomed 17 new officers in recent years, bringing the total number of personnel to 340.
Currently, the police fleet in Vigo consists of 87 vehicles. The new rental vehicles will include:
- 18 patrol cars equipped with detainee kits

- 1 van for citizen assistance
- 1 van for drone services and advanced command posts
- 3 4x4 pick-up trucks for environmental services

In addition to the new rentals, the municipal fleet includes 55 vehicles owned by the city, comprising 39 motorcycles and 16 cars and vans used for various services including command, radar, information, and coastal patrols.
