The NYPD has currently paid $1.1 million for the 40 new test vehicles which run on combination gas-electric engines.  Previously, the NYPD implemented other hybrid sedans and SUVs for parking enforcement and duty captains.  The 2009 Nissan hybrids will test green cars on beat patrol.

The 2009 Nissan Altima hybrid gained approval from the NYPD for the added inches of rear leg room as well.  You can find the article on the New York Post here.
