Opel Rocks-e get new job as an emergency vehicle at the firm's Russelsheim plant

The Opel Rocks-e has joined the firm's own fire brigade at its Russelsheim plant.

The Opel Rocks-e may sport an adorable design and diminutive dimensions, but this special car sports all the fire-red livery, special signalling system, flashing front lights and emergency numbers that make its intention unmistakable.

And with plenty of space available under the passenger seat and in the footwell for tools, the zero-emissions vehicle, Opel states, is fit for duty on its 1.9km² site to perform duties such as periodic checks on the site's fire extinguishers.

Those compact dimensions, along with its emissions-free drivetrain also means this unique Opel Rocks-e can deliver fireman right into the necessary location within the site's expansive buildings, rather than having to park outside, saving precious time in an emergency.

The Opel Rocks-e for the Russelsheim plant fire brigade was jointly created by the firemen themselves, colleagues from Advanced Engineering and Opel Special Vehicles, demonstrating the versatility of the diminutive electric vehicle.
