On April 16, 2025, three brand-new ISUZU FTR foam fire trucks set off from the POWERSTAR factory, heading to Ethiopia. These specialized firefighting vehicles, custom-built for Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, mark a further deepening of the collaboration between POWERSTAR and the Ethiopian customer. As our long-term partner, the Ethiopian client promptly entrusted POWERSTAR with the order after successfully winning a government procurement bid in February 2025, demonstrating their trust in our reliability. From order confirmation to production and delivery, the entire process was completed in just two months, once again showcasing the efficiency and dependability of "Made in China."
Client: Mr. Dawit
Project: Firefighting project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Year: 2025, 04
Project Background:
The client who placed the order for the ISUZU FTR tanker fire trucks is an experienced specialized vehicle procurement intermediary in Ethiopia, maintaining close ties with the government and boasting an excellent reputation in the field. Since partnering with POWERSTAR, the two sides have established a stable, long-term cooperative relationship. In February 2025, the client secured a government tender for three ISUZU fire tender trucks for Addis Ababa, thanks to their outstanding capabilities and professional service. Given their full confidence in POWERSTAR's product quality and satisfaction with past collaborations, the client did not hesitate to place the order and paid the deposit. This trust serves as the best testament to POWERSTAR's brand strength and product excellence.
Upon receiving the deposit, the POWERSTAR immediately commenced production of the ISUZU FTR firefighting trucks. As a company with years of experience in fire truck manufacturing, POWERSTAR understands that every fire truck is critical to the safety of lives and property. Therefore, throughout the production process, we adhered to a meticulous approach, ensuring no detail was overlooked.
These ISUZU pumper fire trucks are built on the advanced ISUZU FTR medium chassis, renowned for its outstanding performance, powerful engine, and exceptional stability. The cab features an ISUZU GIGA 4X double-row design, providing ample space and comfort for up to six firefighters. The upper structure is thoughtfully designed, equipped with a 6,000L water tank and a 2,000L foam tank to ensure sufficient firefighting agent supply. Additionally, we incorporated high-quality CB10/40 fire pumps and PL8/32 dual-purpose water/foam monitors from leading Chinese brands, known for their reliability and ease of operation, enabling swift and effective fire suppression.
Moreover, the vehicles are innovatively fitted with a 40-meter high-pressure hose reel, specifically designed for close-range firefighting. This reel can be quickly deployed and used with a high-pressure nozzle for precise firefighting, making it particularly suitable for initial fire control in narrow streets, residential areas, and other confined spaces. This configuration significantly enhances the fire trucks' adaptability to various scenarios, offering a more comprehensive solution for urban firefighting.
With the deepening of globalization, Chinese fire truck brands are gaining increasing influence in the international market. As one of the leading companies in China's fire truck industry, POWERSTAR remains committed to delivering high-quality firefighting vehicles to the global market. The export of these three ISUZU FTR foam fire trucks to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, not only reaffirms POWERSTAR's brand strength but also serves as a significant showcase of Chinese fire truck products on the international stage.
Moving forward, POWERSTAR will continue to uphold the business philosophy of "customer-centric, quality-first," constantly improving product quality and service standards. We will strengthen cooperation and exchange with domestic and international clients to jointly promote the sustainable and healthy development of the fire truck industry. Simultaneously, we will closely monitor global market trends and adjust our product offerings and strategies to meet the diverse needs and expectations of our customers.
