Information is sparse, but it is known that only around 30 of these vehicles were built by Austrian conversion specialists Marte. The base vehicle is believed to be the IIb forward control, totally re-bodied in aluminium for their intended role, with a 7 seat cabin. They were specified with the 2.6 litre, 84 HP, 6 cylinder petrol engine, and were supplied to the Fire Service in Austria. As with standard IIb FCs, the tyres are 9.00x16 cross-plies. The unladen weight is 2,340kg, whilst it's fully laden weight was 3,500kg. The vehicle pictured at the bottom of the group of three is fitted with a functioning pump.
