Company Information/Major order

Leonding (euro adhoc) - 18 vehicles, worth 19.7 Mio Euro, for the New
Doha International Airport in Qatar

The airport company New Doha International Airport (NDIA), which is
currently building a new airport to accommodate the vigorous
expansion of Qatar Airways, has signed a 19.7 Mio Euro agreement with
Rosenbauer for the supply of 18 fire fighting vehicles, including a
multi-year maintenance and service contract. As well as 11 PANTHER
(8x8 and 4x4) ARFF vehicles and an E8000 escape stair, the order also
includes six different rescue and fire fighting vehicles. The
vehicles are to be supplied by as early as October 2012.

The Panthers are based on four- and two-axled chassis and have engine
outputs of 1260 HP and 705 HP respectively. Able to accelerate from 0
- 80 km/h in less than 21 seconds and with a top speed of over 135
km/h, the PANTHER 8x8 meets the specifications of top-category
(Cat.10) airports.

In service worldwide, the ARFF vehicle PANTHER 8x8 was specifically
developed for deployment at international airports having two or more
runways. These are the airports most likely to handle `superjumbo´
airliners such as the A380. Here, the high-performance vehicle
PANTHER 8x8 permits the shortest possible response times for getting
large extinguishant payloads to the fireground and discharging them
as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The order includes an E8000 escape stair, which was also developed
for use with wide-bodied aircraft. The E8000 does an excellent job of
evacuating passengers efficiently and safely in an emergency.
Rosenbauer escape stairs are in service at the international
airports of Singapore, Berlin, Munich, Paris and Frankfurt, to name
but a few.

The New Doha International Airport is set to commence operations in
2012 and will have Airbus A380-ready runways and taxiways right from
the outset. With the fleet of emergency vehicles it has ordered, the
new airport will be ideally equipped to meet the heightened
requirements brought about primarily by the entry into service of the
`superjumbo´ Airbus A380.
