History and development

Since 1975, the Geser F-250 4x4 fire brigade vehicles have been designed at Geser AG in Littau, Canton of Lucerne. Often specifically adapted to the different needs of Swiss fire brigades. The Geser F-250 4x4 model is based on the Ford F-250 and was widely used as a respirator, crew and material carrier. The vehicle has all-wheel drive with terrain reduction with compensation in the transfer case and automatic differential lock at the rear axle. It has a trailer hook for carrying various firefighter equipment on a trailer, if required. The tires consist of 4x 9.50 16.5 TC with a pneumatic pressure of 4.5 bar at the front and 5.0 bar at the rear. The braking system is based on vacuum-assisted hydraulic brakes. Various fire brigades in Switzerland have such vehicles still as oldtimer for partys and parades in the inventory. A Geser F-250 4x4 of the volunteer fire brigade of the city of Zug in the configuration as respiratory protection vehicle is located in the Zuger Depot Technikgeschichte (Zug depot of technical history).
