Arno Bay took delivery of a new QRV today. The new Arno Bay QRV is based on a Toyota Landcruiser chassis, is 4 x 4 and carries 550 litres of water. This QRV is the only one of the batch that has a 4 cylinder engine with a six speed automatic transmission. (All of the other QRV's are V8 diesel with manual transmission.) Built by Varley Group, it is fitted with a Hatz 1B40 motor / Gaam Mk70 pump. It includes additional safety features to protect firefighters, including a halo system (water deluge system) and an in-cab breathing system. It comes fitted with an LED light bar and a Dometic fridge, and equipped with a Stihl chainsaw. It replaces Isuzu based Arno Bay 14, which will return to Region 6 HQ.
