Between 15 and 17 May 2013, the RETTmobil trade show in Fulda will be hosting the unveiling of BMW's 2013 purpose-built emergency vehicles.
This year, the Bavarian manufacturer will bring forth 7 new models, created especially for different types of emergency situations. We'll get to see a BMW X6 M50d designed as a racetrack medical car along with a BMW X3 as a fire brigade command vehicle and an X1 "First Responder" car.

Furthermore, there will also be a 3 Series Touring and an X3 transformed into emergency medical services vehicles, a BMW 5 Series Touring as a fire brigade command vehicle as well as a modified F 800 GT motorcycle.

All the cars have been modified in close cooperation with specialists from different institutions, to comply with the highest standards of quality and integrate the best specific equipment facilities.

The advantage of emergency response BMW vehicles is the integration of advanced features like EfficientDynamics (that allows a proper usage of energy and reduced fuel consumption) and ConnectedDrive (including the Head-Up Display that allows the driver to keep his eyes on the road at all times).

In addition, we also get BMW Night Vision (which can warn the driver about a person moving on the carriageway from as far as 100m) and the Real Time Traffic Information system (which uses data processing to make sure the driver finds the fastest way to the emergency site).
