Holmfirth emergency services specialist launches £2.5m partnership with Gibraltar Airport

Rosenbauer UK, the emergency services equipment specialist, has announced a new partnership with Gibraltar Airport worth £2.5m.

Holmfirth-based Rosenbauer UK is set to deliver a quartet of its high performance air crash PANTHER trucks to the airport in early 2018.

Three 6x6 and one 4x4 powerful PANTHER trucks will be stationed at the airport for fire crews to use in emergency response situations.

All incorporating Euro 6 engines, the trio of 6x6 PANTHERs are set to include a ‘Stinger’ High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET) and rear steer axles to ensure maximal efficiency in deployment and ability.

Oliver North, Rosenbauer UK’s managing director, said: “The team and I are extremely excited to be working with Gibraltar Airport on this project.

“We are also equally excited at the prospect of delivering the pinnacle of Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting machines at the absolute cutting edge of technology.

“Any PANTHER from Rosenbauer is world-class, but with Gibraltar’s specification – including the coveted ‘Stinger’ HRET – it makes these appliances all the more special.

“We now look forward to executing an efficient build programme specific to Gibraltar’s high expectations. We are confident in completing a wholly successful project to the highest possible standard.”
