Mines Rescue Vehicle

Dräger MRV

Mine rescue teams have long distances to travel before they arrive at the location of the emergency. The Dräger MRV 9000 and MR Fire Truck exactly target this challenge by providing safe transportation as close as possible to the incident without the need to activate the breathing apparatus.

MRV: How it's made

The expansion of mines underground creates new challenges for emergency and rescue teams by increasing the depth and distance of missions. Due to the air purging system onboard the MRV 9000, it is not necessary to don a closed-circuit breathing apparatus. This means the rescue teams now have more time during the actual rescue mission.
