On October 19th, Beijing – a number of fire-fighting models modified by Volvo Truck's special chassis were unveiled at the 18th China International Fire Equipment Technology Exchange Exhibition. Thanks to excellent product quality and precise insights into customer needs, Volvo Trucks has continued to expand its presence in the Chinese fire truck market in recent years. It has now covered the four major segments of the market and established itself in areas such as raising fire engines. An unbreakable leadership position. At the same time, Volvo Trucks actively deployed the “National Six” market and has already seized more than 100 “National Six” fire engine chassis orders.

“Reliability and safety are of paramount importance for fire trucks. Volvo Trucks is committed to providing top-loading customers with chassis models with high attendance and power, and to contribute to the environmental friendliness of the products. Increasingly stringent emission regulations.” Tang Jun, senior sales manager of Volvo Trucks China responsible for the fire truck business, said: “At present, we have completed the 3C certification of the 'National Six' products and obtained more than 100 'National Six' fire trucks. The chassis order is another milestone in our fire truck market in China."

As one of the most eye-catching products in this year's fire show, Sany Heavy Industry's first 48-meter-long high-lift jet fire truck in the industry uses the chassis of the Volvo FMX series. As the most sturdy model in the history of Volvo Trucks, the model's power is up to 500 hp, with plenty of power and stable performance, which can effectively support vehicles to solve the fire rescue problem of large buildings in modern cities. The DG88/C1 ascending platform fire truck at the Xugong Fire Show booth also attracted attention. It can raise the ladder to 88 meters and save the lives of the high-rise residents in a critical situation. This “Climb Pioneer” is the highest platform fire truck in China, and the result of the first cooperation between XCMG Fire and Volvo Trucks – equipped with Volvo FM540 10 x 4 chassis.

In addition to raising fire trucks, the chassis of Volvo trucks is also widely used in other fire trucks. The communication command fire truck exhibited by Zhongzhuo Times is based on the Volvo truck FM370 chassis. It adopts a double-sided pull-body design, and the conference area, operation area, side area and equipment area are set from front to back. Volvo Truck's original Dynamic Steering System (VDS) can reduce the steering force by 85%, helping the vehicle to achieve smooth driving and flexible dispatching in different environments, and give full play to the important role of the on-site temporary command center.
