Fire & Emergency Rescue

Fire Trucks Built for the Roads You Actually Have

AUTOSMODS builds fire and rescue vehicles to order: 4x4 pickup equipment trucks with wading kits and underbody protection, light and heavy water tankers with pump, monitor and compartment layouts, and compact rescue-and-salvage vehicles for township stations. The plant passed China's fire-truck manufacturer qualification review in 2016 and builds on JMC light-truck, heavy-truck and 4x4 pickup chassis. Orders start from one unit.

Most fire services do not lose time on the motorway. They lose it on the last two kilometres — an unpaved lane, a flooded underpass, a market street with a five-metre turning circle. A 4x4 pickup-based equipment truck with a wading kit will reach those calls; a conventional pumper will not. That is the gap this product line exists to fill.

The tanker range covers the opposite case: a known water source far from the fire, where the constraint is how much water arrives per trip and how fast it can be discharged. Light tankers on JMC truck chassis suit municipal and small industrial brigades; heavy tankers on a heavy-truck chassis suit industrial estates, airports and long-distance water shuttle work. Both are built with pump, monitor and compartment layouts sized at order stage rather than fixed at the factory.

Configurations

Each configuration is a starting point — equipment, layout and finish are set per order.

014x4 pickup equipment truck

A heavy-duty 4x4 pickup carrying rescue modules rather than water — the first vehicle on scene, able to cross ground a pumper cannot reach.

02Compact rescue & salvage

Warning, lighting, power distribution, communication and equipment storage integrated on a pickup base, for township stations and first response where a full-size truck is overkill.

03Light water tanker

A JMC light-truck tanker with pump, monitor and standard compartments — the working unit for municipal and small industrial brigades.

04Heavy water tanker

High-capacity tanker on a heavy-truck chassis for industrial estates, airports and long-distance water shuttle operations.

Where it is used

The same chassis carries different bodies depending on who operates it and what the duty cycle looks like.

Municipal fire brigades

Standard tanker and equipment vehicles where the road network is paved and water sources are mapped.

Industrial estates and airports

High-capacity water shuttle and long-duration supply where a fixed hydrant system cannot be relied on.

Township and rural stations

Compact, affordable first-response vehicles for stations that cannot justify a full-size pumper.

Wildland and off-road incidents

4x4 platforms with wading kits and underbody protection for terrain a standard chassis cannot cross.

Questions buyers ask

Do you have a fire-vehicle manufacturing qualification?

The plant passed China's fire-truck manufacturer qualification review in 2016, and fire vehicles are part of its MIIT manufacturer announcement. Copies of the relevant documents are provided at contract stage.

What is the difference between an equipment truck and a tanker?

An equipment truck carries rescue modules, tools and crew to the scene; a tanker carries water. Many brigades order both — the equipment truck arrives first, the tanker supplies the water.

Can the pump and monitor be specified to our standard?

Yes. Pump capacity, monitor type, hose layout and compartment arrangement are defined at order stage against your operating requirement, rather than fixed to one factory configuration.

What tank capacity is available?

Capacity is set by the chassis and the body layout you choose. Tell us the water volume per trip your duty profile needs and we will confirm which chassis can carry it.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One unit. Small stations often start with a single compact rescue vehicle before standardising the fleet.

Why is there no price on this page?

Fire-vehicle cost depends on chassis, tank capacity, pump and equipment. Those are chosen per order, so we price against a defined specification instead of publishing a number that would not apply to your build.
