Saudi Arabia, the nation of oil and the world's largest religious event, is investing in the expansion of its fire service. Rosenbauer is thus able to report on the biggest order in its history with a value of EUR 245 million.

Newly developed telematic solutions are also under way internationally as part of an order from Brazil. An innovative safety concept is to be installed in the eighty PANTHERs purchased for the approaching major events comprised by the 2014 Football World Championships and 2016 Summer Olympics.  

In this “Newsletter” edition you can learn more about the POLY BIKE, which offers inventive extinguishing technology on two wheels, and the stringent requirements of the Rottach-Egern fire service from picturesque Upper Bavaria (Germany) with regard to its new fire truck. Last, but not least, there is an article about the B42 aerial for the Reutlingen fire service, which provided spectacular assistance even before its official handover in March 2012.
