Saudi Arabia is set to deploy a series of fully electric police cars based on Lucid Motors' luxurious Air sedan.

The drone carrier revealed an oversized setup of siren and strobe lights open to deploy a police drone at the touch of a button. The unveiling showcased the Lucid Air's versatility, combining high-performance electric mobility with cutting-edge law enforcement technology.
While interior photos are yet to surface, it's expected that Lucid has customised the cabin to meet the specific needs of law enforcement officers. Standard modifications for police vehicles often include additional screens and mobile radio devices. Lucid Motors, which operates the only EV factory in the region, is anticipated to provide essential support as Saudi Arabia transitions from conventional vehicles to battery-powered cars.
The strategic partnership between Lucid Motors and Saudi Arabia is not new. With the Saudi sovereign fund holding a significant stake of up to 60% in Lucid Motors, the local government has committed to purchasing up to 100,000 EVs over the next decade. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) invested $10 billion in Lucid Motors, positioning the American luxury EV manufacturer as a crucial player in Saudi Arabia's ambitious shift toward sustainable transportation.
