Zeppelin has been awarded a contract for 70 shelter systems for a new decontamination vehicle called TEP 90 that has been developed by Kaercher Futuretech for the German Armed Forces.
Each shelter system consists of 3 shelters of different sizes and for different purposes (see pictures). The system is completed with decontamination technology by Kaercher. The full project shall be completed and delivered until 2010.
TEP 90, a highly mobile containerised compact decontamination system, represents the state of the art in this specific area with its most modern decontamination technologies and agents.
The vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic crane to make the system ready for operation in short time without using external lifting equipment.
