In order to fulfill their diverse tasks, fire departments need more and more equipment and devices that cannot be accommodated in conventional firefighting vehicles. With the equipment vehicle for hazardous material, the fire department now has a vehicle at its disposal which on the one hand has a large volume in the equipment compartment and on the other hand offers a system rack for firefighting equipment.
Up to six roll containers can be loaded. The UP 4, which was also newly delivered, is also loaded on a special roll container.
