Dutch Army’s fire department takes delivery of Trakker vehicle

The Dutch Army has taken delivery of the first Iveco Trakker Hi-Land 8×8 vehicles during a ceremony held at the NIDV Symposium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

In 2012, Iveco received a contract to deliver two Iveco Trakker Hi-Land 410T45W in 8×8 axle-configuration to replace existing ageing equipment in the Dutch Army’s fire departments.

The contract also covers superstructure and vehicle engineering services, project management and maintenance contracting supported by Iveco DV Benelux’s commercial premises.

The vehicles, which will be deployed by the fire brigades of the Dutch Army’s infantry (ISK) and artillery (ASK) firing ranges, have undergone dynamic testing by the user and validated its performance over demanding terrain.

Being delivered in Trakker Hi-Land 410T45W in 8×8 axle configuration, the vehicles are integrated with a loading crane featuring a winch, a 17t capacity container handling system and a new 6m-long open multipurpose container.

Fully EEV emission compliant, the vehicles feature economical and environmentally friendly FPT Industrial Cursor engines coupled with automated EuroTronic transmissions.
