Hamburg Airport has strengthened its security measures and put state-of-the-art Z8 airfield firefighting vehicles (FLF) from Ziegler into operation.

Three of the vehicles have already arrived, while a fourth is due to follow in 2025. This new generation of firefighting vehicles, with an engine power of 1.500 hp and a top speed of 135 km/h, is intended to significantly increase the efficiency and speed of emergency operations. The airport is investing around 4,8 million euros in the new fleet.

Particular attention is paid to sustainability: the vehicles use synthetic diesel made from renewable raw materials, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. With a capacity of 12.000 liters of water and 1.500 liters of foam agent, the vehicles are optimally designed for kerosene fires.
