From what i have heard the CFS werent going to make any more of these due to cost.  Maybe a change in heart?

I guess time will tell.

The South Australian Country Fire Service has a requirement to provide cost effective but durable water tankers in support of its fire appliance fleet. The concept, as per the photos attached, is capable of being fitted to both new and second hand cab-chassis. The following specification outlines the basic requirements for these vehicles.

CFS BW9 Body

The Isuzu FTR900 Long Cab Chassis and the Darley 2BE / Deutz F2L2011W engine pump set will be supplied by CFS and delivered FIS. The body builder shall complete any modifications required to comply with these specifications.
