That is one of the first firefighting vehicles from a total of 29 vehicles for this region. It is built on a Volvo chassis, Type FE 320 4x2, and equipped with the latest innovations of the ZIEGLER Group.
ALPAS of the latest generation
The vehicle is equipped with the well-known superstructure system ALPAS of the latest generation. The patented Aluminum Panel System is not only highly flexible but is also extremely solid and long-living. Firefighting vehicles with ALPAS superstructures are reliable tools for every operation.
With optimized panels, ALPAS saves weight compared to the past super-structure. Due to this, more extinguishing water can be carried along.
