Opel Astra Sports Tourer
Emergency Vehicle
Opel's range of emergency
vehicles has welcomed a new member, the Astra Sports Tourer, which will debut
on May 11 at the 2016 RETTmobil, in Fulda, Germany.
The compact estate wears
bright red decals and is factory-equipped with roof antennas, an engine relay
system, a signal system, front flashing blue lights and blue warning lights at
the other end, with LED technology, joined by the BT 220 controls, which sit in
the center console, and a microphone, for making public announcements.
Prior to being converted
into an emergency vehicle, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer already benefited from
communications and safety technology such as OnStar with Wi-Fi hotspot, Navi
900 IntelliLink and IntelliLux LED matrix headlights.
Joining it on the showroom
floor is a Hansel Fahrzeugbau-converted Movano Trabus, which is aimed at fire
brigades, providing rapid transport from accident-scene to hospital. Following
its RETTmobil debut, the multi-purpose vehicle will head over to Russelsheim,
where it will serve with the plant fire brigade.
Opel also has a Mokka
subcompact SUV present at the event in Fulda, dressed in the same livery as the
Astra Sports Tourer emergency vehicle and equipped with similar tech.
