About

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service awarded a contract to WH Bence Coachworks LTD for the supply of two driver training vehicles for Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service.

The vehicles are designed for dual use: emergency response driver training and LGV Category C driver training, including driving tests.

They feature curtain-sided bodies to allow loading and unloading of water-filled IBCs for ballast, which can be removed to carry bulky operational equipment for major incidents.

The vehicles meet LGV Category C test requirements, including a minimum length of 8m, width of 2.4m, MAM of 12 tonnes, a tachograph, a closed box cargo compartment, a minimum operational weight of 10 tonnes, and capacity for five 1,000-litre IBCs.

They also replicate the driving characteristics of the front-line Scania P270 appliances and seat four personnel in a crew cab.

The contract value is AUD 287,650.
