This is how Porsche, on behalf of the West German Ministry of Research and Technology, sees the fire engine of the future: a convertible, modular system based on a conventional unit to which crane and ladder or other attachments can be added by one man as needed. The West German Minister of Research (Mr Volker Hauff) says the Porsche design will cut costs. The cost of equipping a city with a population of 300,000 with firefighting equipment for instance, will be cut about 20 per cent.
