Ghe-O Rescue - World’s Most Versatile Rescue Truck
The importance of rescue vehicles can never be understated, which can prove extremely helpful during calamities, be it landslides in an hilly area or cyclones in a coastal city. In most cases the vehicles that come in handy are military trucks which perform well in difficult terrain and have good carrying capacity.
The need of the day however, are dedicated rescue vehicles, something which a country like India seems to lack. Meet Ghe-O Rescue, a dedicated rescue truck from Romania which is perhaps the most versatile vehicle of its kind in the world. And exactly the kind of vehicle that should be a part of every emergency response team's rescue arsenal.
Ghe-O Rescue is the latest vehicle from Romanian Ghe-O Motors. According to them the Rescue is capable functioning in all types of terrain and on any type of weather.
The Rescue is built on a truck platform and features heavy duty transmission and lockable axles which enables it to tackle the most hostile and seemingly impossible terra firma.
Rescue measure 5.2 meter long, 2.7 meter wide, 2.39 meter tall and weighs 3.2 tons. That's 2 feet longer, 3 feet wider but more about 200 kg lighter than a Hummer H1.
The sheer size of the vehicle makes it a better rescue vehicle than a small two seater ATV cargo truck. Besides providing better balance the size provides enough space to carry 11 people.
The vehicle can either be equipped with 340 HP to 500 HP petrol engines or 218 HP to 304 HP diesel engines. Rescue can also be fitted with optional electromagnetic and water protection to safeguard its electrical systems.
What makes Rescue a truly versatile truck is ability to carry out a variety of rescue missions in all kinds of terrain. For firefighting, Rescue can be equipped with a 620 liter water tank and pumps. The rear wheels can be replaced with tracks for improved mobility on slippery terrain. Pneumatic floatables can be tied to the wheels to help it float on water and traverse through deep snow cover.
Rescue also comes with foldable roof-mounted cargo space, an optional snow plow to make roads, medical stretch with side door access and even a passenger sledge to carry extra people in slippery conditions.
