As part of a review of its fleet of brigade response vehicles, West Midlands Fire Service is to trial Toyota Hilux Invincibles.
The initial pilot will include three of the Toyota 4x4 conversions, with the potential for further vehicles being added to the fleet dependent on the successful outcome of the trial.
All will be deployed around the region as rapid response vehicles, according to Chris Beebee, fleet manager at West Midlands Fire Service.
"The West Midlands Fire Service is constantly striving to make financial savings combined with improving operational flexibility," states Beebee.
"The trial of the Toyota Hilux Invincible is supporting these objectives, with it becoming the vehicle of choice after a thorough review of comparable vehicles," he adds.
