A successful Interschutz 2026:
International exchanges and innovative vehicle solutions

WAS exhibition stand featuring the CBRN vehicle

After six intense days, Interschutz 2026 in Hanover has come to an end. Together with trade visitors from all over the world, we were able to experience a trade fair that once again demonstrated just how important face-to-face interaction is for the future of the fire service, emergency medical services and civil protection.

At our stand in Hall 26, we presented a selection of our latest vehicle solutions for a variety of operational scenarios. The vehicles on display included an IVECO Daily 4x4 ambulance with a two-stretcher system, our WAS 500 demonstration vehicle, an RTW panel van demonstrator, and a CBRN vehicle for operations in the field of protection against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards.

The vehicles on display attracted a great deal of interest and provided numerous opportunities for technical discussions. The direct feedback from emergency services, organisations and decision-makers, who shared their experiences and requirements from day-to-day operations with us, was particularly valuable.

A particular highlight was the international nature of the trade fair. In addition to numerous visitors from Germany, we were also able to welcome delegations and specialist guests from various parts of the world to our stand, including representatives from Chile, Singapore, Qatar and other countries. The discussions impressively demonstrated that the challenges in the emergency services and disaster management are similar worldwide and that innovative solutions remain in demand internationally.

Alongside the vehicles, the focus was above all on the people. Interschutz provided an opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships, forge new contacts and discuss the future of the industry together.

Our thanks go to all visitors, partners, customers and the many colleagues whose dedication before and during the exhibition contributed to a successful event. Armed with many new insights, valuable contacts and exciting ideas, we are already looking forward to upcoming projects and events. Thank you very much for visiting us at Interschutz 2026.
