Fire Engines Photos

You don't see that much of ERF outside the UK. But it's a very nice appliance.

I didn't realise there were still ERF appliances about in the UK.This is an excellent looking machine!

This puzzles me, as to where the cab came from. Obviously ERF Tractor Units or Rigid commercials do not (did not) have crew cabs. Were ERF part of group who made this cab? Is ERF still in business?

I supposeI can answer this myself having just read that ERF's built since 2000 are rebadged MANs built in Germany. I assume that this is a MAN crew cab?

I don't know if it is a MAN crew cab, but according to the number plate, this ERF would have been purchased and registered in the UK at some date between September 2001 and February 2002. In the UK, ERF still exists although it appears to be associated with MAN, (See www.erf.com). They also seem to still make trucks under the ERF brand along with the MAN brand.

The crewe cab was built by Dutch firm Plastisol, and fitted by TVAC. this is also the company that won the contract to supply the London Mercedes DPL's & rescue units.

Man/erf cabs are manufactured by steyr of austria.the grilles and doors are slightly different to allow man/erf their own uniqueness.

It has recently been announced that MAN are ceasing to market their cabs under the ERF designation so that is the end to a very long British truck marque

I've never understood the fact that Foden, a much respected British truck manufacturer only sold one fire engine, a water carrier to Lincolnshire, after all, Erf and Foden were the same company before they split, in fact they were brothers.
Anyway, does anyone have a pic of the Foden water carrier or any information on it and is it still still in service as it's only on a R reg plate.

Believe it is still in service with lincs but has been bought from TransLinc by AssetCo as an interim appliance until the procurement of a new one.

These are well smart we must do everything possible to preserve as many erf pumps as possible

Any one know if this superb looking appliance is still around? it would be a disaster if it were scrapped or even worse turned into a party machine!

Added by Donny Mclean on 12 May 2017.

Those fire engines didn't get scrapped
