Greater operational capability, lower costs – can be driven with a Class B driver's license

Local authorities, government agencies, and organizations are facing growing demands: More tasks and increasing cost pressure are compounded by outdated vehicle fleets and inflexible vehicle concepts.

Many emergency vehicles are either too small or too heavy. Larger trucks are needed for bigger transport tasks—with higher acquisition, operating and personnel costs.

The result:

• High vehicle costs and inefficient fleets
• Shortage of drivers with C1 or truck licenses
• More vehicles instead of efficient solutions
• High fuel consumption
• High maintenance costs
• Increasing demands for sustainability and cost-effectiveness

The ORCA Transporter is a new class of vehicle for public service: The loading capacity of a truck – with the legal advantages of a 3.5-ton vehicle.

The ORCA enables:

• Drivability with a Class B driver's license
• More volume and payload per vehicle
• Lower fuel consumption
• Versatile applications

Typical areas of application in public services:

• Building yards and municipal services
• Fire department & disaster control (logistics, material transport, special superstructures)
• Police & security authorities (special vehicles, mobile units)
• Technical Relief Service (THW)
• Municipal utilities & energy suppliers
• Waste management & recycling
• Gardening and landscaping by municipal companies
• Mobility, environmental, and infrastructure projects
• Mobile citizen services and temporary deployment sites

Why the ORCA pays off in the long term

Although the ORCA is more expensive to purchase, it reduces overall costs over its service life.

Long-term advantages:

• Fewer vehicles for the same transport capacity
• Lower personnel costs thanks to Class B drivability
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Long service life thanks to lightweight carbon construction
• Lower maintenance and corrosion costs
• Future-proof platform for new requirements

The ORCA is therefore not a classic transporter, but an investment in efficiency, flexibility and sustainable fleet structures.

Lightweight construction & durability

• Carbon structure: Corrosion-free, durable, and designed for continuous operation in public use.
• High payload reserve: More scope for special conversions, technology, and materials.

Efficiency & sustainability

• Optimized aerodynamics: Reduced energy and fuel consumption.
• Fewer vehicles per task: Lower emissions, lower resource consumption

Flexibility for authorities

• Modular vehicle platform: Adaptable to different application profiles.
• Future-proof basis for electromobility and special superstructures.
