Press release

Fulda, 31/03/2023

In six weeks, the RETT trade fair will be opening in Fulda!

The RETTmobil (10 – 12 May) will then open for another three days – as the focus for rescue services in Germany and beyond. The organisers expect more than 450 exhibitors and thousands of visitors.

Manfred Hommel, the Managing Director of Messe RETTmobil International GmbH, reports: “The excitement is slowly increasing. We are keeping precisely to our timetable for the preparations. Once again, the community of experts can look forward to many highlights.” According to Hommel, the exhibitors will include companies from more than 20 countries, including new companies from Spain and Great Britain that sell vehicles for emergency services. The patron this year will be Boris Rhein, Prime Minister of the Federal State of Hesse.

The special exhibition will deal with a wide variety of themes and we expect that there will be a great deal of interest in new trends, such as digitalisation and remotely operated systems. These will include operating robots and drones – both in detail at various stands and live demonstrations in authentic situations.

“Action” will be provided by the traditional off-road parcours. The entry from the German Red Cross this year will be an all-wheel patient transport system on a Unimog chassis and we will see what it is capable of on this demanding terrain. It will also be demonstrated how a forest caterpillar can be used for forest fires and how an INEOS Grenadier 4 x 4 can be used as command and control vehicle in open country. Visitors will also be able to ride through the off-road parcours on a Landrover Defender.

RETTmobil will not neglect training. The supporting specialist program will include advanced training in medical ambulance work, workshops and discussions with experts (“Meet the Experts“). The themes will include management and communication during active service, digital solutions for a variety of problems, psychosocial emergency prevention and preclinical ultrasound. Our organisation manager Sandra Hommel-Liebich recommends that those wishing to take part should register on our website as rapidly as possible (https://www.rettmobil-international.com/besucher/tickets/). Demand is high.

LUKAS RESCUE LEAGUE and SAFETY-TOUR have announced special practical workshops for members of fire brigades and ambulance services. These will take place on a special area of 4,000 m2 and will concentrate on fire prevention and technical aids. For example, these will deal with the special risks of E-mobility. These workshops will be held on a special presentation and practical area by hall L.
