Firefighting vehicles specialist Magirus has been awarded two
major frame contracts for the Italian and German Firefighting
Brigades, totaling some 200 units.
LONDON, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At the end of
2016, Magirus, a brand of CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI),
achieved two important results, which further strengthen its
production schedule for 2017.
The Firefighting Brigades of the Italian Ministry of Home
Affairs awarded Magirus the frame contract for up to 100
firefighting vehicles. This contract, valid for three years,
comprises the delivery of the "APS" (Auto Pompa Serbatoio) tank
pumpers, the main urban firefighting vehicle in Italy.
The new Magirus "APS" configuration is based on the Eurocargo
4x2 chassis from Iveco, CNH Industrial's commercial vehicles brand,
together with the Magirus Team Cab, the safest crew compartment on
the market. Furthermore, a set of state-of-the-art devices such as
the Electronic Stability Program, tire sensors, front/rear cameras
with recording system and full LED lighting will enable the most
advanced and safest firefighting functionality and operation. The
call-off order of the first 30 units has already been placed at the
turn of the year.
At the end of November, the Fire Department Institute of North
Rhine-Westphalia IdF, one of the largest German training centers
for firefighters, chose Magirus for a major order of up to 109
units. This frame contract entails the manufacturing and the
delivery of Magirus LF-KatS firefighting vehicles over a period of
four years, to 2021. The brand's exceptional quality and the
Magirus Team Cab were also decisive factors for this contract.
The first 27 units for the Fire Department Institute have
already been ordered. The handover ceremony will be held at the
Magirus Experience Center in Ulm, Germany, home of the brand's customer center
for firefighting technology.
