You may ask what is the uniqueness, the peculiarity of special and specialised cars “Validus Special Auto”
The fact that their production is carried out in constant close cooperation with the SES. Rescuers advise design engineers both at the stage when the idea of creating a new vehicle arises and in the process of equipping it with special devices, tools, rescue equipment, etc.
As a result, the fire and rescue vehicles are equipped inside in a way that allows rescuers and firefighters on an emergency mission to get straight to work and not waste time on unnecessary movements.
Serhii Radchuk, who has been working at the SES in Rivne region for over 18 years, says:
“Just 2-3 years ago, we had old-style equipment, and we lost a lot of time just to unblock the victim from the accident site. Now, with modern machinery and the latest rescue equipment, we are within the time limit for saving a person. Previously, the tools were manual, but now they are fully modernised and allow us to start working within 10-30 seconds of arrival. A big breakthrough is that the new rescue vehicles have portable and stationary lighting masts to illuminate the scene and various safety lights, special signs and colour schemes to make it safer to work at the scene of an emergency/accident/fire.”
