with other civil defense equipment.
The vehicles are to be manufactured at the Rosenbauer plants in Leonding and

different versions, will be precisely tailored to match the wide-ranging

organization. To make sure that our clients there receive the very best service,
we are also continually strengthening our team on the ground, and this new order
will substantially increase our volume in Saudi Arabia."
