ROSENBAUER International AG, the world market leader for
special-purpose vehicles, yesterday signed a contract with the
General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA - the company operating
Saudi Arabia´s airports) to supply a total of 220 fire-fighting and
rescue vehicles. The contract value is for around Mio. 100 EUR,
making this the biggest single order in ROSENBAUER´s history.

With this fleet renewal programme, GACA will not only be modernizing
the fire protection arrangements at all the Kingdom´s 26 local
airports, but also ensuring fulfilment of the ever-more stringently
monitored international airport certification regulations of the ICAO
(International Civil Aviation Organisation).

The shipments are to comprise many different fire-fighting and rescue
vehicles and a comprehensive assortment of personal protective gear:

• 62 PANTHER air crash tenders
• 28 tank fire-fighters with 15,000 l extinguishant volume
• 60 "AT" (Aluminium Technology) rescue and fire-fighting vehicles
• 48 mini pumpers and command vehicles
• 6 hydraulic aerial appliances
• 16 rescue ambulances

The vehicles will be manufactured largely at the Austrian production
locations, while the hydraulic aerial appliances are to be produced
at the Group´s 100% subsidiary Metz Aerials and the mini pumpers at
ROSENBAUER America (Central Division). The vehicles are to be
supplied and commissioned in several tranches by the end of 2012.

Won in the face of ferociously contested international bidding, this
order once again confirms the ROSENBAUER Group´s pre-eminent position
on the worldwide fire-equipment market. Together with this latest new
order from Saudi Arabia, the large volume of orders on hand means
that a good level of basic capacity utilization may already be taken
as given for both 2009 and 2010.
