The Mercedes FPT (Fourgon Pompe Tonne) has been introduced in the last couple of years, as I understand it to replace the BSPP's previous major pumping appliance, the FA (Fourgon d'Appui), various generations of which were delivered on Renault (and a few Iveco) chassis from the 1980s onwards. I'm not sure how many have been of the new Mercedes have been delivered as yet (although it's obviously at least 15, from the registration above).

Does anyone know whether the smaller pumping appliance, the FM (Fourgon Mixte), on an Iveco chassis, which as far as I know is used exclusively in central Paris, is also being replaced by the new Mercedes FPT?

Mark, no idea how many Mercedes they have now, I saw only a couple of them. But I visited only 6 stations. This station is Grenelle which is in arrondissement 15. Pete no idea too if those FM's are replaced. Re the numbering system I wish it was that easy as you think it is, but I can't find any record that the registration numbers (fleet numbers) are in sequence.

FM are not being replaced yet, I have seen a few last month on a big electrical fire near Rivoli street. I think 16 Mercedes FPT (Fourgon Pompe Tonne)have been introduced.
