Pre-orders for these two models are now available.
Alongside its brand-new website, BritEM Graphics is to announce the launch of two commissioned models in partnership with Norev SAS today for collectors of emergency service vehicle models worldwide.
The two models will be supplied in plain-white for you to apply a livery of emergency service vehicle of your choice with the decals supplied by us, or simply stay blank as an unmarked vehicle or civilian vehicle.
Second Generation Volvo XC90
In recent years the UK has seen a large number of second generation Volvo XC90s introduced as emergency service vehicles. Built by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo since 2015, the second generation XC90 is known for its comfortable ride and unbeatable safety records. The first second generation XC90 known to be built for emergency services in the UK is a 66 plate silver XC90 in police demonstrator livery. Since then, many XC90s have been built to orders from UK emergency services from Home Counties to the Scottish Highlands. Many of them entering service with police services in the UK are being used as armed response vehicles or for road policing units, while vehicles built to ambulance specifications can be found among a handful of ambulance and air ambulance services.

Specification for this model is as follows:
- 1/43 scale
- Plain white colour
- Right hand drive
- Covered sunroof
504 pieces will be available.
Second Generation Peugeot 308 SW
Emergency services in the UK have also shown great interest in estate cars. With their generous capacity, estate cars allow first responders to travel with more equipment carried onboard. In competition with offerings from Opel/Vauxhall and Volvo, Peugeot has brought its 308 SW for emergency services since 2015 alongside its hatchback sibling 308. The largest customer of the second generation Peugeot 308 SW as emergency service vehicles is known to be the Metropolitan Police, who use them extensively as incident response vehicles. Other customers of this model include Police Scotland, British Transport Police and North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service.
