Command vehicles from BORCO HÖHNS
Mobile command and coordination units for organizing their operations.
When every decision counts, an incident command unit is needed to maintain a clear overview. Borco Höhns develops and builds incident command vehicles that provide support precisely where information converges, personnel are coordinated, and operations must be structured.
Drawing on experience in the construction of specialized vehicles and a clear understanding of the requirements of fire services and disaster relief agencies, we create custom vehicle solutions for emergency services. From compact incident command vehicles to fully equipped mobile command units, we implement concepts that work in real-world operations.
On this page, we present various command vehicles that have already been built. They serve as examples of the diverse ways mobile command units can be configured and the possibilities Borco Höhns can realize for your organization.

Command vehicles for fire departments and disaster relief services
Whether for fire departments, disaster relief services, or other emergency response agencies, the requirements for a command vehicle are as varied as the operational scenarios themselves. A well-conceived vehicle design that reliably supports communication, situational management, documentation, and workflow organization is crucial. Key elements include practical workstations, radio and IT systems, ample storage space, power supply, and lighting, as well as an interior layout that remains functional even during prolonged operations.
Borco Höhns plans and builds incident command vehicles tailored to the specific requirements of each organization. Our work draws on our experience in specialized vehicle manufacturing as well as our commitment to creating vehicle solutions that are robust, durable, and practical for everyday use. Our goal is not an off-the-shelf vehicle, but rather a mobile command and coordination unit that aligns with the fire department’s existing operational structure, technical equipment, and workflows.
Tailored solutions for your management and coordination unit
Depending on requirements, the result can be compact command vehicles for local incident command, more extensively equipped vehicles for major command tasks, or custom-fitted specialized solutions. The key lies in the interplay between spatial layout, communication technology, ease of operation, and operational utility—because in the field, every action must be precise, and the technology must function reliably.
As an experienced partner for specialized vehicles, Borco Höhns supports fire departments and emergency service organizations from the initial concept to the finished vehicle solution. Working closely with those in charge, we develop concepts that meet practical operational requirements and ensure long-term usability.
