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-fighting 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 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.

An Econic drives 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.

Atego.

If you need a manoeuvrable vehicle that enables low-drawn bodies, the Atego is the right truck for you. Whether used as a tanker or auxiliary fire-fighting vehicle, command and control vehicle, equipment trolley or turntable ladder: thanks to its low cab height, bodies with a body height of 3,300 mm* and optional centre seat can be installed without any problems. With wheelbases from 3,610 mm to 4,760 mm or weight categories up to 16.8 tonnes, there is a wide range of options to configure your Atego precisely for your needs. With the optional crewcab, you can also transport a large team. Furthermore, it is robustly designed and offers special equipment ex works, including: packages for fording capability of up to 800 mm, PowerShift transmission with fire service drive programme, Allison 6‑speed torque converter transmission with or without retarder as well as PTOs for centrifugal extinguishing pumps, cable winches and generators in high and low positions.

Arocs.

With the Arocs, you have a powerful and versatile truck at your side that offers you advantages such as a 10‑tonne front axle, fording capability of up to 900 mm, powerful power take-offs, PowerShift transmission with fire service drive programme and a host of safety systems as standard. With engine outputs of up to 460 kW/625 hp, wheel configurations from 4x2 to 8x8 and weight variants from 18 to 48 tonnes, you can get to work with a robust and resilient helper that impresses with its ground clearance and comes ex works with engageable or permanent all-wheel drive. With the optional hydraulic all-wheel drive HAD, you can also improve traction and manoeuvrability on rough terrain. This makes the Arocs particularly reliable, whether as a tank fire-fighting vehicle, heavy-duty recovery vehicle, swap body vehicle or heavy-duty crane vehicle.

Actros and eACTROS.

Whether it’s large quantities of water and extinguishing agent or heavy equipment in roll-off containers, the Actros is the right logistics vehicle for your fire service deployment. Whether as a swap body vehicle or as an emergency command vehicle with a telecommunications body, heavy-duty recovery vehicle or heavy-duty crane vehicle: the Actros is your functional partner with a very high degree of operational capability. Its full air suspension ensures particularly gentle transport. And the optional steered trailing axles ensure that the Actros is a manoeuvrable and reliable partner in the fire service sector, despite its size. Emergency workers on the move are also well protected in the Actros thanks to the safety systems and in the battery-electric drive version, are even locally CO2‑neutral.

Thanks to this reliable American cab 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.
