27 July 2017

Australia – LONDRES, 27 de julio de 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Magirus, marca internacional de equipos de extinción de incendios de CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), ha comenzado la entrega de 100 camiones autobomba con tanque de agua a la Junta Nacional de Cuerpos de Bomberos de Chile (JNBC).

Esta entrega es el resultado de los dos grandes pedidos realizados en 2016 para misiones tanto nacionales como regionales. Los vehículos pertenecen a tres categorías: modelo TLF 4000 (C4 Semiurbano), todoterreno TLF 4000 (C4 Semiurbano) y vehículos de extinción de incendios forestales TLF 3000 (C5 Forest).

La presentación oficial de la aceptación del pedido por parte del cliente fue celebrada en la sede central de Magirus en Ulm (Alemania), y contó con la participación de altos representantes de las instituciones implicadas. Los camiones de bomberos fueron estacionados en las instalaciones de pruebas del Centro de Excelencia de Magirus para que el cliente pudiese inspeccionarlos.

El consejero delegado de Magirus, Marc Diening, fue el encargado de presidir la simbólica entrega de llaves a los representantes de la Junta Nacional de Cuerpos de Bomberos de Chile. Sin duda alguna, fue una entrega fuera de lo común, pues se realizó a 30 metros del suelo. Gracias a dos escaleras giratorias articuladas Magirus M42L-AS, la delegación tuvo la oportunidad de observar los camiones a vista de pájaro. Mientras se encontraba en el aire, la delegación recibió un saludo muy especial de los bomberos, que decía: “Que tengan un buen viaje y regresen a salvo de todas sus futuras misiones”. Además, se formó con los 100 camiones la frase “Chile 100”.

Cada uno de estos 100 coches de bomberos Magirus ha sido construido de forma exclusiva a partir de un chasis IVECO Eurocargo y equipa un potente motor de 220 kW (299 CV). Gracias a su cabina de acero, el modelo C4 Semiurbano está diseñado para transportar un equipo de bomberos de 1+8.

Se solicitó que 55 unidades fueran del consolidado modelo 160E30, en su variante 4×2. Otras 16 unidades son de la versión 150E30W, todoterreno de ruedas gemelas, que garantizan un comportamiento óptimo en terrenos difíciles. Ambas versiones incorporan un tanque de agua de gran tamaño, con una capacidad de 4.000 litros; y una bomba centrífuga Magirus MPN230, con una capacidad de 3.000 litros por minuto y 10 bares de presión.

Los 29 vehículos restantes están especialmente diseñados para incendios forestales de grandes dimensiones, como los que el Departamento Nacional de Bomberos de Chile combatió en el pasado. A principios de este año, el fuego arrasó una zona de más de 370.000 hectáreas, el equivalente a cuatro veces la superficie de Berlín (Alemania). Se trata de Magirus C5 con chasis 150E30 WS Eurocargo, una variante todoterreno de neumático único con cabina de acero (1+5), que demuestra sus virtudes particularmente sobre terrenos sin asfaltar. Estos modelos incorporan un tanque de 3000 litros y la potente bomba Magirus MPN 230, y un sistema de protección para los ocupantes y el propio vehículo.

El envío de los vehículos a Chile salió de Alemania con destino a Sudamérica por vía marítima. La entrega oficial a los diferentes departamentos de bomberos de Chile tendrá lugar tras la llegada a Chile de los camiones.

The Chilean National Fire Brigade will receive 100 Magirus fire-fighting vehicles

LONDON, July 27, 2017 / PRNewswire / – Magirus, the international brand of CNH Industrial Fire Extinguishing Equipment (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI), has begun delivering 100 truck water pump to the Board National Fire Brigade of Chile (JNBC).

This delivery is the result of the two large orders made in 2016 for both national and regional missions. The vehicles belong to three categories: model TLF 4000 (C4 Semi-urban), off-road vehicle TLF 4000 (C4 Semi-urban) and forest fire extinguishing vehicles TLF 3000 (C5 Forest).

The official presentation of the client’s acceptance of the order was held at the Magirus headquarters in Ulm, Germany, and was attended by senior representatives of the institutions involved. Fire trucks were stationed at the Magirus Center of Excellence testing facility so the customer could inspect them.

Magirus’s CEO, Marc Diening, was in charge of presiding over the symbolic handing over of keys to the representatives of the National Board of Fire Brigades of Chile. Undoubtedly, it was a delivery out of the ordinary, as it was done 30 meters from the ground. Thanks to two Magirus M42L-AS articulated swivel ladders, the delegation had the opportunity to observe the trucks in bird’s eye view. While in the air, the delegation received a special greeting from the fire department, which said: “Have a safe journey and return safely from all future missions.” In addition, the phrase “Chile 100” was formed with the 100 trucks.

Each of these 100 Magirus fire engines has been built exclusively from an IVECO Eurocargo chassis and features a powerful 220 kW (299 hp) engine. Thanks to its steel cabin, the Model C4 Semiurban is designed to carry a 1 + 8 fire department.

It was requested that 55 units be of the consolidated model 160E30, in its variant 4×2. Another 16 units are version 150E30W, all-wheel twin wheels, which ensure optimal performance on difficult terrain. Both versions incorporate a large water tank, with a capacity of 4,000 liters; And a centrifugal pump Magirus MPN230, with a capacity of 3.000 liters per minute and 10 bars of pressure.

The remaining 29 vehicles are specially designed for large-scale forest fires, such as those fought in the past by the National Fire Department of Chile. Earlier this year, the fire swept over an area of more than 370,000 hectares, equivalent to four times the area of Berlin (Germany). It is a Magirus C5 with a 150E30 WS Eurocargo chassis, a unique tire all-terrain variant with a steel cab (1 + 5), which demonstrates its virtues particularly on unpaved terrain. These models include a 3000 liter tank and the powerful Magirus MPN 230 pump, and a protection system for the occupants and the vehicle itself.

The shipment of the vehicles to Chile left Germany for shipping to South America. The official delivery to the different departments of firemen of Chile will take place after the arrival in Chile of the trucks.

An international team of climate researchers from the US, South Korea and the UK has developed a new wildfire and drought prediction model for southwestern North America. Extending far beyond the current seasonal forecast, this study published in the journal Scientific Reports could benefit the economies with a variety of applications in agriculture, water management and forestry.

Over the past 15 years, California and neighboring regions have experienced heighteneddrought conditions and an increase inwildfire numbers with considerable impacts on human livelihoods, agriculture, and terrestrial ecosystems. This new research shows that in addition to a discernible contribution from natural forcings and human-induced global warming, the large-scale difference between Atlantic and Pacific ocean temperatures plays a fundamental role in causing droughts, and enhancing wildfire risks.

“Our results document that a combination of processes is at work. Through an ensemble modeling approach, we were able to show that without anthropogenic effects, the droughts in the southwestern United States would have been less severe,” says co-author Axel Timmermann, Director of the newly founded IBS Center for Climate Physics, within the Institute for Basics Science (IBS), and Distinguished Professor at Pusan National University in South Korea. “By prescribing the effects of man-made climate change and observed global ocean temperatures, our model can reproduce the observed shifts in weather patterns and wildfire occurrences.”
