Jeep Rescue designed for extreme situations
Detroit, Michigan - Designed as a search and rescue vehicle, the new Jeep Rescue concept vehicle also hints at the future design direction of a new large Jeep, says DaimlerChrysler.
Featuring all-new body-on-frame construction with hydroformed frame rails and riding on an 80-inch wide chassis with 123-inch wheelbase and 37-inch tires, the Jeep Rescue is designed for the most extreme situations and unforgiving conditions, says the company.
Its front hydropneumatic suspension and heavy-duty link-coil rear suspension have adjustable ride height and an additional 4-inch lift available for fording. The aforementioned 37-inch tires feature an MTR tread and run-flat capability, negating the need for a spare. On-board tire pressure control has the ability to “tune” tire pressures for maximum traction on all surfaces.
The Rescue can be configured to run almost totally “open” - with folding front windshield and a retractable backlite, a sliding glass sunroof in front, a fold-forward canvas roof in the rear, plus, all four doors are removable.
Powered by a Cummins Diesel and featuring seating for five, the Jeep Rescue’s list of rescue and safety equipment includes:
AC electric power (10 kW) generation in the field
3-D topographical mapping software and topographical navigation system
Under- chassis, point-of-view cameras for avoiding danger in its path
Passive, infrared (thermal) cameras for search and rescue
Satellite telephone; VHF radio, digital video recorder with satellite transmission capability
Retractable 4-point harnesses for vehicle occupants
Exterior perimeter lighting
White LEV lighting for long distance visual search and reduced power use
Folding seats in rear compartment of vehicle
Remote control winch - front and back
