Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have started to take delivery of 46 Euro Ⅵ Tatra Force 815-7 4×4 forest fire pumper vehicles, equipped with Allison 4500 Series fully automatic transmissions, following a Europe-wide open tender. Both states have large, forested areas and have experienced numerous, and in some cases devastating, forest fires in recent years. As former military training areas with the possibility of ammunition in the ground (legacies of former ammunition depots from the Second World War), firefighting efforts are significantly hampered. The Tatra Force 815-7 4×4 has a TLF-W body type 'Brandenburg' from Czech bodybuilder, THT Policka. It is powered by an Allison 4500 Series fully automatic transmission and a 6-cylinder Euro Ⅵ Cummins diesel engine rated at 386bhp. The 18-tonne truck reaches a maximum speed (limited) of 62mph. |
