143 Truvelo’s ProLaser 4 speedmeter has been granted Home Office Type Approval for police enforcement within the UK. Picking up where the world-leading ProLaser 3 left off, ProLaser 4 has already been rolled out across police forces in England, Scotland and Wales.

According to Truvelo, ProLaser 4 has been extremely well received by its new users because of its unique laser configuration and advanced optic design. It is notably better at acquiring targets, especially approaching motorcycles, even without a shoulder stock fitted. The display lock feature prevents a captured speed from being cleared if the trigger is accidentally depressed during a pursuit, whether in the car seat or when stowing the laser in a pannier or tank-bag. A unique count-up timer commences with each locked speed giving further vital evidence when engaging with the motorist.

ProLaser 4 is powered by four AA batteries and designed to operate up to 40 per cent longer. Truvelo says the new organic LED (OLED) rear display and head-up display deliver high-contrast visibility day and night as well as exceptional low power consumption. Robust aluminium construction and rubber bumpers guard against those inevitable knocks during day-to-day use, so expect the ProLaser 4 to be in service for years to come just like its ProLaser II and ProLaser III predecessors.

Calvin Hutt, Truvelo’s sales manager, comments: “I am delighted our hard work and patience in achieving Home Office Type Approval is finally paying off. We are really excited to see our customers, both new and old, experiencing the benefits that ProLaser 4 will bring to their roads policing operations moving forwards.”
