15 Oct Magirus showcases its new airport fire brigade

The new DRAGON X6 NEO – Maximum ARFF performance for airport fire brigades has been unveiled by Magirus.

The new Magirus DRAGON X6 NEO is the most powerful airport firefighting vehicle in its class.

The modern combustion vehicle features a “2-engine strategy”, and accelerations of up to 80 km/h in less than 20 seconds, which enables emergency services to reach every corner of an airport in the shortest possible time.

It showcases a completely revised front section that emphasises the dynamic design but also impresses with a modern appearance that extends to the rear section.

According to Thomas Hilse, CEO of Magirus, driver-friendliness has been significantly improved by the new EasyOperator human-machine interface (HMI) with a larger display.

He said: “This HMI will be found in all Magirus product lines in the future.”

Marc Kuntz, Director of Sales & Customer Service added: “The new design and innovations of the Dragon X6 Neo will be incorporated into the entire airfield firefighting vehicle family from the second quarter of 2025.”
