A CHASSIS for fire brigade use has been introduced by DAF Trucks to the Dutch market.
Based on the existing FA 1600DT and FAV 1800DT chassis, the vehicle is fitted with an hydraulically operated tilt cab which contains drivers and crew compartments. The crew section has room for six people and the cab is equipped with silent blocs and telescopic shock absorbers.
A manual four speed gearbox is fitted as standard, but an Allison Automatic box can be supplied as an optional extra. With the manual gearbox installed, the DAF is said to have a top speed of 90km/h (56mph).
A power take-off unit is fitted to the vehicle and standard trim includes equipment for the eventual fitment of pneumatic apparatus, warning lights and radio telephone.
