Sinotruk Steyr 8000 liter Water Foam fire vehicle Mali

Name: Sinotruk Steyr 8000 liter Water Foam fire vehicle Mali
Brand: Sinotruk HOWO

The Sinotruk Steyr 8000 litre Water Foam fire vehicle is a 4x2 fire fighting appliance built on a heavy-duty HOWO chassis with a 220 HP diesel engine and 10 speed manual gearbox. It is designed for urban fire brigades, industrial sites, ports, and forest fire units that require a rapid, mobile response with both water and foam capability. The CB10/60 fire pump delivers 60 litres per second at 1.0 MPa and feeds a PS40 monitor capable of projecting a stream over 50 metres, enabling effective attack on flammable liquid and solid fuel fires from a safe distance.
