Next Generation Firefighting offers sustainable, reliable technology

The world is in constant flux. In particular, the effects of climate change and trends such as urbanisation present modern societies with ever new challenges. These have a direct impact on fire-fighting and disaster control. Forest and vegetation fires, the growing number of natural disasters as well as constantly more complex situations require new technologies, new approaches and innovative solutions that perfectly adapt to these changing conditions. At Magirus, these are at the heart of the “Next Generation Firefighting” philosophy. This is expressed in a product portfolio which, in the interplay of networking, robotics and the continuous further development of the core range, particularly reflects Magirus’ traditional striving for practical, safely deployable and directly available innovations.

Particularly in conjunction with the unconditional endeavour to offer the ideal solution for every context. For example, Magirus translates the latest developments in the field of mature alternative drive technology into practical vehicles that can be used reliably without compromise. Here, the company is convinced that a sensible and context-dependent interplay of different alternative drive technologies is required in order to meet the challenges adequately, safely and sustainably. Engine technology based on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is of central importance in this context. In combination with biogas, it enables completely climate-neutral operation of fire-fighting vehicles.

Presentation of innovations and new products

Magirus’ globally proven vehicle technology forms the basis of all the company’s future technologies. With the new turntable ladder generation with SmartControl as well as digital systems such as FleetConnect and TacticNet, Magirus demonstrates a product portfolio with intelligent networking of all relevant areas of operation. This digital innovative evolution has already set new standards for the operational capability, effectiveness and safety of emergency forces. Alongside these, remotely operated vehicles such as the Wolf R1 tactical response robot and the AirCore TAF fire-fighting robot will also play a central role. Special highlights of the “Experience The Future” Roadshow will be the consistent expansion of robotics with new solutions as well as the presentation of groundbreaking innovations and new products – also in the field of personal protective equipment.
