The situation of the vehicle inventory of the Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires is quite complex with a mixture of different models from a number of manufacturers, usually foreign, and worse, with different combustibles; gas and petrol. This is clearly a logistics nightmare and reflects the dire financial situation of the country, which forces the planners to optimize acquisitions costs instead of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the vehicle's fleet.

A better option for the Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires would be to define the missions for which it requires vehicles and select three or four vehicles models that meets the requirements for those missions, and standardize on them, around a single fuel and logistics system, with all of the real savings involved in such a long term plan. Now, these vehicles should be fully missionized and, for a police vehicle, this includes ballistic protection, at least in the doors, reinforced fenders, radio, GPS and such kind of modifications.
