ZIEGLER is delighted to announce the successful handover and commissioning of two new Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicles (ARFF) to the airport of Saarbrücken.

The two identical Advancer ARFFs are setting a new standard in their class and mark a significant advance over the airport's older models. Equipped with advanced technology, including thermal imaging cameras, these vehicles offer unrivalled performance in terms of firefighting and rescue operations.

Another major advantage of the new vehicles is their improved maneuverability

Their versatility is what particularly characterizes the vehicles. They are not only suitable for use on the airport premises, but thanks to their road license they can also be used outside the airport. This means that they can react quickly and effectively wherever they are needed.

Another major advantage of the new vehicles is their improved maneuverability and reduced weight.

New ZIEGLER ARFF offer more maneuverability and flexibility

Weighing around eight tons less, the new ZIEGLER ARFF are significantly more maneuverable and flexible than their predecessors, still having enormous extinguishing agent reserves. This helps to shorten the response time in emergency situations and increase the efficiency of the emergency services.

The procurement of the new firefighting vehicles was a necessary measure to replace the previous models, which had been in service for two decades.
