Six months before the start of the 12th RETTmobil, the preparations for the European trade fair are in full swing.

At a general meeting of the IKR e.V. - the Association of Manufacturers of Ambulances and Emergency Vehicles, which is the honorary sponsor of RETTmobil since 2001, all details regarding the largest event of the industry in Europe were discussed, covering exhibition, education and mobility.

Again more than 300 exhibitors from more than 16 European countries will present themselves on 70,000 sqm of exhibition space and display their products.

In 17 exhibition halls, on the extensive outside area, the test-drive terrain for off-road driver training and a test track for driving safety exercises, more than 20,000 professional visitors from Germany and abroad are expected next year.

The exhibition, the professional education program including medical rescue service training courses and workshops, as well as mobility, have been the three central pillars of RETTmobil from the beginning. RETTmobil with its eleven-year success story has become an internationally recognized trade fair in Europe.

The 12th RETTmobil showcases products, innovations and services of the leading manufacturers of ambulances and emergency vehicles, renowned exhibitors of vehicle equipment, emergency medical technology, wireless communication technology, apparel, publishers, professional organisations and associations, charities, fire departments and the german federal army, as well as representatives from related industries.

Next year, a daily fair-forum will be added to the exhibition program, which will offer diverse live presentations and public discussions on rescue service topics.

The Working Group of Firefighters in the Rescue Service AGBF (AG FreDi) is participating in this prestigious forum for the first time at the 12th RETTmobil.

The well-proven program of rescue-medical training and workshops with key departments and renowned speakers will again inform the audience on current issues at the 12th RETTmobil.

Professionals and volunteers from fire departments and agencies, members of the Technical Relief Service, the police and other organisations will once again demonstrate their skills.

For this the large open-air area with its off-road course and the integrated test-track provide ideal conditions. Here, all interested individuals can experience mobility with the latest vehicle and rescue equipment first hand.

The German Bundeswehr will present numerous modern vehicles employed in the medical field, which will be shown at the off-road course.

The 12th RETTmobil will take place in the Baroque City of Fulda, which is known as the venue in the middle and the location of short distances.

The exhibition is open daily from 9 am – 5 pm. 2,000 free parking lots for visitors and a free shuttle service from Fulda Central Station to the exhibition grounds at Messe Galerie Fulda are available.
