The final configuration adopted for the emergency and rescue vehicle was a bus-like option that allows carrying more than 20 passengers. The diesel engine works with ambient air under normal conditions but switches to bottled air when the hydrocarbon/toxic gas concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, which is measured by a gas detector. The traction system is based on four-wheel drive with all-terrain tires, which are suitable to operate on snowy and icy roads. The bottled air is also used (once laminated, preheated, and humidified to reasonable values) by the cabin passengers. A further energy balance on the cabin allowed designing the air conditioner. To keep as low as possible the external temperature of the vehicle we specified a fire resistant and highly reflective paint, a water spraying system to quench the vehicle body (this solution is widely adopted for the rescue trucks in road tunnels), and a reflecting windshield (to lower the radiation directly transmitted to the driver). Finally, a thermographic camera (working in the infrared spectrum) assists the driver when smoky environments lower the visibility.
