Hi Richard. The body has no makers name or plate on it. The body is just an empty box with no equipment/pump in it, I think Mercedes just put this body on rather than just showing a chassis cab. Its a very impressive vehicle.

This would be a well suited replacement for Summerbridge, -but I somehow don't see that happening.

HI Paul, it would make a great replacement for Summerbridge, but these vehicles are to expensive for the brigade. Not sure what's happened to the "Van" John, thinks its been hidden away until it goes back to Emergency one.

Well Paul. lets hope something decent is mooted then! Might be a trip to Batley for one of Anglocos Landies! Still at least it seems one and all were proved right about the van!

Various versions of the 4X4 Unimog can carry up to 3500L water, a 2000 or 3000LPM pump with a 400LPM high pressure circuit and an optional CAFS system - and accommodate a crew of up to six.
They usually have a pump and roll capability, often with a sparge pipe and can be fitted with a front or roof-mounted remote control monitor, making them truly capable of one-man operation if necessary.
I have test-driven these on some extreme off-road terrain, and they will go anywhere any other 4X4 can be taken. There is now a big brother 6X6 version, which can perform all the same functions but can also include a 6000L tank. The Marins-Pompiers in Marseille operate 43 regular Unimogs, with 2000L tanks, including some with four-wheel steering, and have added 6X6 Mogs to reduce the number of refill run cycles the smaller units have to make.
The 6X6s can be moved nearer the fire off-road than their other tankers, so as to shorten the refill loop, or they can go straight to the fire face and operate directly on scene.
They may be very expensive, but they are extremely capable and durable - many of the Mogs on this site have completed 20 or 30 years service and are still going strong.
