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.

Models

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.

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.
