DEFENSE
The Iraqi Ministry of Interior has acquired 18 PM40 firefighting trucks from Chinese manufacturer SANY to improve civil defense and emergency response. Delivered in February, the trucks were developed over nearly two years of research and coordination.
Designed on MAN truck chassis, they are intended for tough rescue operations and large-scale fire crises, enhancing coverage in urban and industrial areas. This delivery is SANY's first significant overseas contract in the firefighting sector, aligning with Iraq's initiative to modernize civil defense equipment amid increasing urbanization and disaster risks.
