New design and innovation: future-proof and environmentally friendly
The new DRAGON X6 NEO not only presents itself with a completely revised front section that emphasizes the dynamic design but also impresses with a modern appearance that extends to the rear section. According to Thomas Hilse, CEO of Magirus, driver-friendliness has been significantly improved by the new EasyOperator human-machine interface (HMI) with a larger display. This gives the vehicle crew clear and easy access to all controls. “This HMI will be found in all Magirus product lines in the future,” says Hilse.
In addition, the integration of FleetConnect offers innovative fleet management options that ensure optimized coordination and maintenance of emergency vehicles. The DRAGON X6 NEO meets the strict EURO VI emission standards and therefore provides not only maximum performance but also environmental friendliness and future-proofing.
