Police response vehicles
Response cars, roads-policing units, incident-response vans and operational support vehicles specified around authority requirements.
Blue light fleets
Specialist vehicles. Group-wide capability.
Automotivate connects commercial vehicle sourcing and funding with the emergency-service engineering, conversion and commissioning expertise available across the wider Trek-Group.
Specialist fleet expertise
From initial requirement to a vehicle ready for operational service.
Blue-light vehicles demand more than a standard conversion. Crew safety, electrical integration, communications, warning equipment, payload, access, durability and long-term support must work together. Automotivate provides a coordinated route into the specialist knowledge and manufacturing capability of the group.
Vehicles we support
Capability across the emergency-services fleet.

Wider group expertise
Specialists who understand operational vehicles.
Safeguard SVP was established specifically for sophisticated blue-light and emergency-service fleet requirements, providing a one-stop route from initial vehicle requirement to a fully prepared, ready-for-use vehicle.
Cartwright Vehicle Conversions designs and manufactures specialist ambulance, police, fire and rescue vehicles in-house, combining established designs with bespoke engineering, production capability and aftercare.
Integrated commissioning
The complete vehicle—not isolated equipment.
Final content is defined by the authority, duty and approved specification. Typical integration areas include:
Visibility & response
- Emergency warning light systems
- Sirens and control interfaces
- High-visibility livery and markings
- Scene and work lighting
- Audible and visual safety aids
Operational systems
- Radio and communications installation
- Data recording and tracking
- Camera and crew-safety systems
- Power management and charging
- Command-and-control workspaces
Role conversion
- Secure storage and equipment mounts
- Cell, dog and custodial units
- Patient care and transport interiors
- Load carriers and access systems
- Full vehicle commissioning
Every emergency-service conversion must be designed, approved and operated against the customer’s requirements, applicable legislation, vehicle limits and relevant technical standards. Final responsibility and acceptance remain with the commissioning authority and operator.
