By Jim Gibbins - 1st November 2019
UK / Sweden - Humberside Fire & Rescue Service has become the first UK fire and rescue authority to introduce a new generation Scania (Great Britain) Ltd of Milton Keynes L-series fire appliance. Equipped with Scania's new low entry cab, the vehicle carries an aerial ladder platform (ALP), which at 45-metres is the joint highest in the country.
To achieve Humberside's overall on-road height requirement of 3.55-metres and provide maximum manoeuvrability and a high level of visibility for the driver, the vehicle was specified with a low height Scania L 360 B6x2*4 rear-steer chassis. Plated at 26-tonnes GVW, it is powered by Scania’s 360hp 9.0 litre engine and is fitted with Scania's CL20L all-steel safety cab, which in addition to two seats provides a generous storage area behind.
