As a manufacturer of ambulances and special vehicles, we not only develop new, better technical solutions on our own initiative, but also receive important impulses from customers and partners. And we meet people who have very special stories to tell through their work in the emergency services. This is how news worth reporting from special vehicle construction and rescue services continuously emerges, which we are happy to share here.
Women in male professions may no longer be a complete rarity, but when Christine Strätker talks about her dual engineering studies in the field of mechatronics, she always looks around to see surprised faces. In the Engineering of Technical Systems degree programme, she is currently one of eight women out of a total of around 50 people; in the field of electronics/mechatronics, she is one of two.
Rainer Kunze from the Hanover City Fire Brigade welcomes us on a Monday in March. We are led by him through long corridors and quite a few doorways in Fire and Rescue Station 1, which was completed only two years ago. The station houses the regional control centre as well as all units of the rescue service, a fire enginge, special vehicles, plus the administration and workshops of the Hanover Fire Brigade.
