The Cops' Wet Dream : Mercedes-Based 10,000-Gallon Water Cannon
Protesters, beware! This is the Water Cannon 10000 built by Austrian coach-builder Rosenbauer and based on the Mercedes-Benz Actros 3341 all-wheel-drive truck. The truck can handle up to 10000 liters or approximately 2642 gallons of water. Refilling is accomplished at water hydrants, open water, or both.
The 31-ton Water Cannon 10000 is powered by a , read closely, Euro-5 compliant V-6 turbo diesel featuring BlueTec SCR diesel technology,” according to a Mercedes press release
Interesting is that the driver will benefit from an automated transmission operation and an auxiliary HVAC system helps “maintain a pleasant interior temperature.
The vehicle will initially be available and used by the German police. Seventy eight of these vehicles are initially queued for production over the next ten years.
The good news: Mercedes really makes things great things from scratch. And, the German police too, will get it too soon.
The bad news: At 1 million Euro, or close to Php 67million, it can come too cheap for a president like Arroyo (and her governmnt , of course). Haha
