I understand the whole side of the bus slides out to create extra space inside. I saw it a few weeks ago at Scania workshop on south rd. Looks like a nice comms bus!!

It was on display at the Emergency Management Conference at the convention centre. This was the prelude conference before the World Police & Fire Games started.

Too many security people about to get a look inside.

Rumored to have cost 2.5 mill. Anyone able to confirm?

bittenyakka · « **Reply #4 on:** May 03, 2007, 06:32:59 PM »

cant confirm but i was told it cost a LOT.

Apparently MFS are planning to use this bus as a more integral part of their operations unlike the old bus.

$2.5 million is after the buildup which is including all the electronics going into it.MFB have ordered one similar but opted to put in a false floor for all the cabling, while MFS are running them through the bodywork

Ahh not $2.5million but it was alot, try closer to half that.

SES rent one often for major searches in bush environments. You can see the orange for miles.....

Looks pretty speccy inside but no pics, sorry. It's actually quite boring from the outside - just imagine a big tall oblongish red blob with wheels and a few windows....
