VOLVO TRUCKS INTRODUCES A CUSTOM FIRETRUCK

As the distributor of Volvo Trucks, Temsa İş Makinaları shines out among the market by offering all the necessary technical support for mounted equipment applications as well as with its capability of offering specially equipped vehicles with mounted equipment for public sector tenders, companies or exports.

IGA Air Side Operations Director Ozan Karakış, Volkan İtfaiye General Manager Yaşar Tecim and Temsa İş Makinaları Truck Group Sales Manager Kıvanç Kızılkaya have attended the delivery of the Volvo Trucks vehicles modified for the needs of the İstanbul Airport.

"We Preferred Volvo Trucks Because It Has Successfully Met All the Conditions"

IGA Air Side Operations Director Ozan Karakış has stated that the vehicles were purchased to be used by the Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) team - the protector of flight and ground safety at Istanbul Airport- during aircraft, building and facility fires. He said: "Response time for aircraft accidents and fires at airports, is a very important criteria. You are obliged to respond within 3 minutes of receiving the distress call. These vehicles must rapidly reach their maximum speeds and they need to be suitable for terrain conditions because of the high amount of water and fire extinguishing foam carried by the vehicles as well as the fact that events may occur not only on coated surfaces but also on terrain conditions. Accordingly, we preferred Volvo Trucks vehicles as they have successfully met all the conditions."

In his statement at the delivery ceremony, Volkan İtfaiye General Manager Yaşar Tecim has expressed their satisfaction with Volvo Trucks' services and support for the trucks prepared for İstanbul Airport and continued: "Safety is crucial for us. The nature of our work is to ensure the safety of the people. But in order to do that; first, you have to ensure your own safety so that you can help others. So that's why we chose the first brand that comes to mind for safety in the world, Volvo Trucks."

"We're Proud to Be a Part of This Valuable Project"

We are very happy such a valuable institution that assumes the duty of savings lives, has chosen Volvo Trucks at a location where security has such crucial importance We're very proud to be a part of this valuable project. I hope that this procurement shall lead to a long-term collaboration."
