Airport fire truck, also called rapid intervention vehicle (RIV) can be used for rapidly rescuing aircraft passengers and crew, and extinguishing fire. It is also applicable to building firefighting.
The total weight of airport fire truck is 29 tons, using the German Mercedes-Benz ACTROS 3360 chassis, 6 × 6 drive, Germany Mercedes-Benz OM502LA water-cooled V-type eight-cylinder 24-valve turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine electronically controlled common rail injection, 9500L water tank, 1200L foam tank, equipped with controlling fire-fighting equipment and rescue equipments in the cab.
1. Main features of the rapid intervention vehicle (RIV)
2. Basic Parameter:
Overall size | ≤10000mm×2500mm×3900mm |
Wheelbase | 4380mm+1450mm |

3. Environmental Adaptability: The airport fire truck can adapt to any of the following circumstances and will not affect any operation and firefighting systems. It can adapt to saline mist corrosion environments. If ambient temperature is -25 ℃ or 60 ℃, it can work smoothly. If relative humidity is 45% to 95%, it also can work smoothly.
4. Advantages:
★ Max. speed when pump runs with full power: ≥40km / h (Running speed when vehicle runs and fire extinguishing agents come out together.)
★ Extinguishing systems: Fire extinguishing system can be realized to put out the fire when vehicle runs and extinguishing agents (water, foam, powder) comes out together.
