Paris firefighters are not getting rid of their big red trucks anytime soon, but they can now count on a lovely Renault Twizy electric quadricycle to fight through heavy traffic on their way to an emergency.
The back of this single-seat vehicle (the standard Twizy has two) has been transformed into a huge cargo area for a fireproof suit, a first aid kit, as well as a pair of fire extinguishers and oxygen bottles. It could help first responders arrive earlier at the scene of a fire and potentially save lives.
Paris' Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers (fire department) will evaluate the Twizy over an eight-month period and later determine if these small electric four-wheelers are suitable to join its regular fleet of emergency vehicles.
