In September, the PANTHER ARFF, which has
already captured numerous accolades, was awarded the IDEA 
(International Design Excellence Award) in gold. This distinction is 
one of the world's most well-known and only 35 of the 1,517 projects 
submitted were rewarded with a first prize.

a top speed of 140 kph, is currently the leading ARFF vehicle on the 
market and meets the demands of aircraft of the size of the Airbus 
A380. The design of the PANTHER was created in teamwork with the 
Vienna-based innovation company, Spirit Design.

red dot design award 2006, the iF design award 2006, the 2007 
National Prize for Design of the Federal Republic of Germany, and the
