ARI 458 case in use for the youth fire department in Stalowa Wola, Poland

The Młodzieżowa Drużyna Pożarnicza (youth fire department) named after Father Stanisław Czerepak in Stalowa Wola is an impressive example of what modern volunteering can look like. Since 2019, the unit at OSP Stalowa Wola in the Charzewice district has been looking after over 70 active members - from the children's fire department for the youngest from the age of 3 to the youth department for 10 to 18-year-olds. The squad now relies on a very special vehicle for its work in promoting young talent: an ARI 458 with an all-electric drive.

The vehicle: ARI 458 with fire department equipment

The model used is an ARI 458 with a powerful lithium battery and the tried-and-tested standard box body. The vehicle was equipped with the following features for use by the fire department:

• Individual decals in the fire department design, which make the vehicle recognizable from afar as an emergency vehicle of the youth fire department
• Rotating beacons at the front and rear for maximum visibility at events and exercises
• Additional front lighting to supplement the signaling technology

The compact format of the ARI 458 makes it the ideal companion for working with children and young people: maneuverable, quiet, emission-free - and with its box body, versatile for transporting equipment and materials.

Promoting young talent on wheels

The electric vehicle is mainly used at public events, fire department picnics and events organized by the unit. There it serves as an eye-catcher and conversation starter to get children, young people and their families interested in the volunteer fire department.

The youth fire department in Stalowa Wola is active far beyond the region - among other things, it organizes the open indoor championships in sporting and firefighting disciplines and regularly takes part in national and international competitions.

With the ARI 458, the unit now has a vehicle that perfectly matches its modern and future-oriented approach: sustainable, practical and a real eye-catcher.

Sales and support

The vehicle was sold via a Polish dealer partner. Ongoing support in terms of service and spare parts supply is provided directly by ARI Motors. This ensures that the vehicle is always reliably ready for use - so that the young firefighters in Stalowa Wola will continue to be optimally equipped in the future.
