Fire department superstructure

El Grande - when the tour becomes a round trip. Our support vehicle without a cabin, but with everything a good camp needs: Three roof tents for the team, plenty of storage space and enough pulling power to rescue others. El Grande is a packhorse, workbench and mobile outdoor kitchen all in one. Three 100-liter cool boxes keep drinks cold, the pizza oven keeps stomachs full - and when the day ends, the team gathers right here.

Mercedes Arocs 2053 4x4

|

Fiber Mox

Silver like a star in the night sky—and just as ready to conquer long distances. The SilverStar, built on a Mercedes Arocs 2053 chassis, is prepared down to the last detail for the journey of a lifetime. Its hallmark: the custom-built rack for two BMW GS motorcycles, which keeps the team flexible even off-road—whether for the final kilometers into rough terrain or a spontaneous trip to the nearest village. Our team has also completely reimagined the interior: The interior fit-out was built entirely in our workshop and combines long-distance capability with the comfort needed for months on the road. It’s not just the exterior that gleams silver—the SilverStar is fully ready to go where the road ends and the adventure begins.

Iveco Daily 4x4

|

Fiber Mox

Sometimes a new story doesn’t begin until after a crash. The Phoenix was originally a classic Bimobil conversion built on an Iveco Daily 4×4—until an accident brought the vehicle’s life to an abrupt end. Instead of a total loss, we got a fresh start: completely dismantled, redesigned, and rebuilt to be significantly lighter. The centerpiece of the resurrection: Instead of the original sleeping alcove, there’s now a clever storage alcove on the roof. This noticeably lowers the center of gravity while still providing plenty of storage space, making the Phoenix a true off-road specialist—in situations where a high center of gravity would otherwise quickly become a problem. The entire interior fit-out also comes from our workshop: lightweight, functional, and free of unnecessary weight. The Phoenix proves that from the ashes of an accident, a vehicle can emerge that is better than the original—designed without compromise for off-road driving and long-distance travel.

Unimog U1300

Prepper One Fiber Mox

With the PREPPER ONE, we have raised our Unimog to a new level together with the well-known survival expert Survival Mattin. The first Sahara tour quickly showed the limits of the original firefighting superstructure. It was not designed for tough off-road use in the long term. The solution: a specially developed living cabin that adapts perfectly to the characteristic shape of the Unimog. Robust, compact and consistently designed for use in extreme conditions. The result is a vehicle that is at home even where roads have long since ended. Inside, the PREPPER ONE focuses on a clear and functional design. High-quality materials, well thought-out details and a consistent focus on the essentials create a living space that offers everything you need for long journeys and self-sufficient living – without unnecessary clutter. The cab has also been extensively optimized. By raising the roof, seating comfort has been significantly improved. The concept is complemented by a roof rack, which creates additional storage space for equipment and expedition material. The PREPPER ONE is not a show vehicle. It was built to function in real-life conditions – from the dunes of the Sahara to the most remote regions of the world.
