Special vehicles for your industry

Fire-fighting vehicles for your mission.

Reliable when it gets tough.

Applications

Rescue, extinguish, recover

When the mission begins, every second counts. Which is why you need emergency vehicles that are fast, reliable and easy to handle. Whether as a fire-fighting tanker, rescue vehicle, equipment truck or with a turntable ladder: Mercedes‑Benz Trucks form the basis for a large number of fire service vehicles and, thanks to the wide product range, also offer you the right vehicle concept for your mission.

When you’re working, you need fire-fighting tankers that offer sufficient volume for extinguishing water and enough space for equipment. Regardless of whether you are facing a forest fire, flood or industrial deployment, or whether you need a manoeuvrable and compact vehicle or a powerful and resilient vehicle: with its flexible combinations of body options and water tanks, Mercedes‑Benz Trucks offers you a portfolio of fire-fighting group vehicles and tankers that will include the right solution for you and your team.

If your mission takes you into difficult-to-reach terrain, you need a vehicle that impresses with its outstanding off-road capability, but also has sufficient tank capacity, capacity for extinguishing agents, a self-protection system, heat protection ex works or, for example, a self-recovery winch. Mercedes‑Benz trucks are durable and robust and are ideally equipped for extreme applications with their pump-and-roll system and the optionally available crewcab or roof hatch.

Whether you are working in narrow alleys in the old town, contending with dense traffic in the metropolis or carrying out operations in floods: with aerial rescue and articulated mast platforms as well as turntable ladders in various vehicle variants to suit your needs, Mercedes‑Benz trucks ensure you are equipped for all your operations at altitude – small and manoeuvrable or low and resilient.

If you need to be flexibly equipped for your deployment locations, you have reliable and efficient partners at your side with the equipment and tool vehicles from Mercedes‑Benz Trucks. You can even replace several vehicles in your fleet with the roll-off container system. Depending on the mission, you can transport the relevant materials to the action zone that will help you with your task. You can adapt your fleet to different purposes thanks to vehicles that perform in urban traffic or offroad, are capable of transporting small or large teams and carry a wide range of bodies.

Ensure fire protection when refuelling, remove traces of oil, extinguish engine fires: at the airport, you have to deal with demanding and versatile operations. All of this requires you to be on site quickly and efficiently. That’s why the robust and reliable airport fire-fighting vehicles from Mercedes‑Benz Trucks provide you with very high performance and extensive equipment options.

Wenn du es mit extremen Ereignissen zu tun hast, benötigst du spezielle Einsatzfahrzeuge: Starkregen, Erdbeben oder ABC-Schutzmaßnahmen können zu Evakuierungen führen oder andere Logistikaufgaben erfordern. Mercedes‑Benz Trucks sind technisch zuverlässige, robuste und belastbare Partner für deine Aufgaben, um dich und dein Team möglichst sicher und schnell an den Einsatzort zu bringen.

Flexible bodies on a reliable basis

With the various equipment options, you are well equipped for your missions. The following Mercedes‑Benz trucks form your basis for this.

A red fire service Unimog driving up a steep, sandy slope with blue lights on. The off-road vehicle is equipped with heavy-duty tyres and a special body, presumably for fire-fighting operations. “Feuerwehr” and “Schlingmann” lettering indicate its intended use and the bodybuilder.

Extreme off-road Unimog

If your missions take you off-road, you need a robust truck. The extreme off-road Unimog offers a wide range of options: equipped with thermal protection or a roof hatch and offering a fording capability of up to 1.2 m, it can also cope with extreme operations – whether as a fire‑fighting tanker, equipment and rescue vehicle, industrial fire‑fighting vehicle or other special vehicle.

Unimog implement carrier

Do you need a manoeuvrable and compact vehicle in your fleet that is particularly flexible in its application options? Then the Unimog implement carrier with its compact vehicle concept, short wheelbase and high performance offers you the support you need. With its all-wheel drive and high ground clearance, the Unimog implement carrier also masters challenging applications – as a fire-fighting tanker or equipment and rescue vehicle, whether for ambulance transport or as a swap body vehicle.

A red fire service Unimog with blue lights on driving along a narrow cobblestone road that passes a house. The vehicle is compact and manoeuvrable, ideal for use in built-up areas. “Schlingmann” lettering on the side of the Unimog indicates the bodybuilder. Two firefighters are sitting in the cab.
An Econic driving along a city road with blue lights on. The fire-fighting vehicle has a low cab and a large panoramic windscreen. Another vehicle is following behind. There is a large brick building in the background.

Econic

Dealing with dense urban traffic? The Econic is the perfect truck for you. The panoramic windscreen and glazed folding door allow you to keep a close eye on the traffic situation, and thanks to the low seating position, you are at eye level with the traffic. Its low overall height and compact wheelbase make it easier for you to get through complex traffic situations. As a fire service truck, the Econic offers you numerous, variable body options – with a turntable ladder, roll-off containers or as a fire‑fighting tanker.

Zetros

Whether you need to transport pumps, material or equipment, whether you are treating water in your mission or whether you are driving versatile extinguishing, rescue and recovery operations: the Zetros is the perfect special vehicle for fire service operations, international aid organisations or anyone whose missions involve crisis areas. Thanks to this reliable canopy truck, you can get your job done reliably even in remote locations. Because it has built for precisely this purpose, with its robust design, ride comfort, payload and performance.

A red airfield fire-fighting vehicle sprays large quantities of extinguishing agent using its roof-mounted projector. The Zetros is equipped with large tyres and several axles, bears the lettering “2020” and a large “R”. It is located on an asphalted surface, presumably in front of an airport.
