From 1915 to the present: The journey of MAN fire vehicles from outsider to market leader. A fascinating documentation expertly written by Klaus Fischer, featuring numerous captivating photographs from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. The legendary hooded vehicles were rarely seen in fire departments, but with the joint production series VW-MAN, they made their entry into the light class from LF 8 to RW 1. The L2000 and M90 series took their place in the fire stations, and the current series TGL, TGM, and TGS are a success story in their own right. Naturally, vehicles that stood out in their time are also included, such as the tractor-tank fire engine of the Frankfurt fire department from 1971 or the large airport fire engines built on four-axle MAN SX chassis.
