New vehicle technology & alternative car engines

The development of new vehicle technologies is increasingly causing complications during technical assistance. No two accidents are the same and vehicle technologies are more diverse. The development of new vehicles and use of new products is progressing ever faster. Every fire service ought to be able to react to these developments and always be up to speed with the latest technology.
