PLUS has handed over four units of the Honda CR-V in 1.5L turbo guise to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for the latter to carry out enforcement duties on highways.
The handing over of the four vehicles was conducted in the presence of PLUS managing director Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaffar and IGP Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Haji Ismail. This follows the handing over of four similar units earlier this month by PLUS to the road transport department (JPJ).
The vehicles are shown to be wearing police livery on a white base along with roof-mounted lights, as on the units handed over to the JPJ earlier this month, and the expressway patrol vehicles are to assist in the role of law enforcement, patrolling and surveillance on highways operated by PLUS, according to the statement.
The latest batch of four vehicles handed over to PDRM is one of the initiatives between PLUS and the police to ensure the public may enjoy safe passage on highways, while enhancing law enforcement on PLUS highways, the highway opreator stated.

Toll they want collect. Patrolling work, they pass it to PDRM.
obviously only pdrm holds higher authority , if reckless drivers see car emblazoned with plus logo they wont even be scared
the money came from never-ending toll concessionaire contract keep on getting extended, during Bijan tenure as PM
Of course they can, PDRM had purchased several fleets from Honda since the past 10 years. First, it was the civic FD. Then replaced by FE, in stages. And now the Latest City for investigators to move around.
Remember, Honda Malaysia is also managed by DRB and that says something.
So many ppl questioning why not using P1’s X70s as fleets. But these Hondas (Civic, CRV) really last very long mileage with proper care, maintenance. Its just that the upfront cost is very expensive. Govt agencies or GLCs should purchase them tax free, rather than leasing from fleet companies.
long term durability and reliability isnt a concern for Plus since they will change cars quite often . different from a private car buyer who might want to keep the same car for more than 10 years.
