'The gas engine will shut off at idle with the battery handling the electrical load for flashers, radios and other items. '
'Ford was to unveil the police car Monday with press conferences in New York and Los Angeles. '
'One already has been outfitted to look like a Los Angeles police cruiser. '
'Ford said at $2.50 per gallon for gas, the hybrid would save a police department $3,877 per year in fuel costs per vehicle. '
'When the throttle is held down for five seconds, the car will go into pursuit mode, using both the electric motor and the gas engine for maximum performance, Ford said. '
