The truck can be lowered from its ground clearance of 250 millimeters, about 9.8 inches, to 100 millimeters, about 3.9 inches. These changes make accessing the truck and equipment more convenient while it's at work for different demographics.
It can also be raised to 350 or 480 millimeters, about 13.8 inches or 18.9 inches respectively when traveling over rough or flooded terrains.
Furthermore, the driver and commander's seat can rotate, and the passenger seats can be arranged into conference seating. This allows for better communication during trips and briefings, according to its maker.
Onboard WiFi and a management system allow the occupants to control the vehicle and drones.
There's also a colored LED strip below the windshield that serves multiple purposes, such as a warning light. It also turns into a green-yellow-red changing color bar to indicate scales such as the load or force on the cable winch.
Different sized water and foam tanks can be installed to make room for other equipment, and the rear compartment can lift to accommodate "various manipulation systems."
There's an electronic mirror system, rearview cameras, four-by-four driving mode, and surround LED lights that allow for 20 times more light around the truck than the traditional fire fighting truck when it's at the scene.
The driver's seat also vibrates when the truck is close to any potential danger.
The vehicle is 7.6 meters, about 24.9 feet, long and 3.06 meters, about 10 feet tall. It also has a width of 2.35 meters, about 7.7 feet, with "narrow" sliding doors, which allows it to operate in denser areas, according to its maker.
The truck has two electric motors that can power water pumps for 30 minutes. There's also a diesel-powered extender along with the generator for longer truck use that is quiet and has lower emissions than a typical truck engine.
The battery can power the truck about 30 kilometers, about 18.6 miles.
