Model Details

The Herpa Scania CP28 CrewCab fire engine “Audi Werkfeuerwehr” (item 099363) is a highly detailed HO scale 1:87 collector model representing a specialist industrial fire brigade vehicle operated at the Audi production site in Neckarsulm, Germany. Finished in operational red, this model reproduces a real factory fire service appliance used for on-site fire protection, emergency response, and industrial safety operations within the Audi AG plant.

Produced by Herpa as a limited one-off edition, this model reflects the unique role of factory fire brigades in protecting high-value industrial manufacturing facilities and ensuring rapid emergency response within complex production environments.

Historical Background

Factory fire brigades (Werkfeuerwehr) in Germany are specialised emergency units responsible for fire protection and hazard response within industrial sites, airports, and large production facilities. Unlike municipal fire services, they operate under the direct responsibility of the company or facility they protect, in this case Audi AG.

The Audi plant in Neckarsulm operates a dedicated fire brigade equipped with advanced emergency vehicles tailored to industrial risks such as fuel handling, chemical hazards, and high-temperature production environments. These units are essential for ensuring continuous safety in automotive manufacturing plants where complex machinery and flammable materials are present.

The Scania CP28 CrewCab platform is widely used in industrial and municipal fire services due to its robustness, high payload capacity, and suitability for heavy-duty firefighting equipment. In this configuration, it serves as a versatile fire engine capable of rapid response within the factory grounds.
