Pump capacity : 1800 l/m low pressure, 240 l/m high pressure. Watertank : 1000 litres.
In 1997 it was sold to a fire brigade in Belgium.

I think it was 1983 and not 1993 (!)
I remember this pumper was present at the RAI
The Unimog is now in use at Kapellen

Hi Kris,

You are right, my mistake. There are to many small keys on my keyboard ;-)

Unimogs have grown up a lot since this unit was built. The BMPM in Marseille France operate 43 of them in various sizes and configurations. Some are still tiddlers, because they can negotiate smaller spaces, but the biggest 4X4 Mogs have a 4, 000 liter tank and the even larger 6X6 versions carry 7, 000 liters. Most of their Mogs also have a four door crew cab and are staffed by four or five crew.
