by Renault Unveils Fire and Rescue Vehicle Concept
The Renault company has unveiled a unique fire and rescue vehicle concept, the Vision 4Rescue, built on the basis of the electric 4 E-Tech model. This vehicle is designed as a mobile command center with the capability to launch drones. Among its key features are a 15 mm increased ground clearance and an all-wheel-drive system with two motors.
The concept’s exterior is finished in a bright red color with graphics inspired by emergency services. The vehicle is equipped with modified bumpers featuring 3D-printed shock absorbers that reduce damage. On the roof, there is an aerodynamic compartment for the drone and equipment, allowing for the restoration of communication after a disaster.
Interior and Functionality
The interior was developed in collaboration with fire services. The upper section includes a work area with monitors and a keyboard for controlling the drone, while the lower section is intended for storing equipment: helmets, tablets, and radios. The seats are upholstered in a material made from recycled firefighter suits.
Renault notes that the concept features about 20 interconnected solutions developed to standardize emergency service technologies.
The vehicle is also equipped with a communication system with the inscription “Je te reçois 4 sur 4” (“I hear you loud and clear”). This project is part of the Software République initiative aimed at improving coordination between emergency services.
The Vision 4Rescue concept demonstrates how modern technologies can be integrated into rescue operations. The use of drones and digital solutions can significantly accelerate emergency response, making the work of security services more efficient.
