TRITON

special vehicle for fire rescue forces

TRITON is a command-reconnaissance vehicle for use in difficult terrain conditions and in high-risk environments. It is therefore suitable for use against fires with risk of explosion in areas with hazardous or explosive material and ammunition, for accidents in chemical plants, in areas contaminated with toxic substances or, for example, in natural disasters or forest fires or during removing the consequences of terrorist attacks. TRITON will be used as the first deployment vehicle in demanding conditions. TRITON provides the crew with a high level of ballistic (level 2) and explosion protection (level 2a / 2b), with an operating weight of 15 095 kg, a total of 18 000 kg.

The Tatra chassis of the TRITON vehicle is equipped with an air suspension system, thanks to which the clear height of the vehicle can be changed from + 80 to - 110 mm directly from the cab. All differentials have an electropneumatic lock. The cabin can accommodate two crew members, and there are two additional seats available for eventual evacuation of endangered persons. TRITON has a remote-controlled Alco APF2DC nozzle (from the commander's seat using the joystick) located on the right side of the bow of the vehicle and carries 2,000 litres of water in the rear tank. The interior of the cab is equipped with efficient NBC filtration system and air conditioning.
