ARFF Vehicles
Purpose-built airport rescue and firefighting vehicles covering ICAO categories 1 through 10, from compact 4×4 regional tenders to high-capacity 6×6 and 8×8 specials for major international airports.
ITURRI's ARFF vehicle range is designed and manufactured specifically for aerodrome fire and rescue service (AFRS) units, covering the full spectrum from ICAO category 1 regional strips to the largest category 9–10 international hubs serving wide-body aircraft such as the A380 and B747-8. The range divides into two architectures: commercial-chassis variants built on standardised heavy-truck platforms (faster lead times, easier parts availability, lower lifecycle cost) and special-chassis models — notably the TORO 4×4 and TORO 6×6 configurations — engineered on purpose-designed multi-axle drivetrains for maximum off-road and all-terrain performance. The compact TORO 4×4 (VIM 61 MTEC 454) carries 6,100 litres of water, 800 litres of foam concentrate and 250 kg of dry chemical powder on a MAN-based all-wheel-drive chassis; its hydraulic suspension and automatic tyre-deflation system allow it to operate effectively on unprepared surfaces and cross-slope terrain, while its 8.9 m length keeps it manoeuvrable on constrained regional aprons. The larger TORO 6×6 (VIM 120 MTEC 670) scales capacity to 12,000 litres of water and 1,500 litres of foam for international-gateway duty, with a roll-over stability angle of 32° that exceeds the ICAO/NFPA standard. Both platforms reach 125 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 80 km/h in 24 seconds — meeting or exceeding the ICAO Annex 14 response-time envelope. All variants are equipped with long-range roof-mounted monitors, bumper turrets and combined high-pressure/compressed-air foam (CAFS) extinguishing systems; onboard electronics enable remote monitor control and discharge management from the crew cab. A crew of up to five is accommodated in an ergonomic cabin optimised for visibility and rapid egress. Vehicles comply with ICAO Annex 14, NFPA 414 and UK CAP 168, and are built to NATO STANAG standards for military-airfield variants. For GCC procurement teams, the range covers both the ultra-high-category requirements of major hubs (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh — all category 9–10) and the lower-category regional airports expanding across the Gulf under national aviation growth plans.

Use cases.
- ›Primary ARFF coverage at major international hubs (ICAO category 9–10) operating wide-body long-haul fleets
- ›Rapid-intervention first-attack at regional and domestic airports (ICAO categories 1–6) where compact platform width and all-terrain capability are critical
- ›Military airfield fire and rescue service (AFRS) operations requiring NATO STANAG certification
- ›Fleet replacement or capability upgrade for national aviation authorities expanding AFRS provision under ICAO Annex 14 compliance programmes
- ›Combined-agent incidents — structural fires, fuel spills and hazmat scenarios requiring simultaneous foam, water and dry-powder discharge
- ›GCC and Middle East airports expanding capacity under national aviation masterplans, where high ambient temperatures demand verified high-flow foam discharge and robust thermal protection
