(from Daimler Press Release) Pioneering development by SAG in Gaggenau. Output of up to 40 horsepower
One hundred years ago, the world’s first fire-fighting pump powered by a gasoline engine was supplied to the customer and put into operation in the Grunewald suburb of Berlin on December 1, 1906. It was a three-tonner with four-cylinder engine, built by Süddeutsche Automobilfabrik Gaggenau (SAG, South German Automobile Factory), a company which was integrated in Benz & Cie. a little later.
A brochure published by Benz & Cie. on the occasion of a hygiene exhibition in Stuttgart in 1914 had this to say in retrospect: “The Benz factory in Gaggenau was the first to supply a fire-fighting vehicle powered by an explosion engine, and it still occupies first place not only with respect to the number of vehicles supplied but also in terms of operational safety and vehicle performance.” At that point in time, a lot had happened ever since the fire-fighting pump’s arrival in Berlin on December 1, 1906. SAG, founded in 1905, got into difficulties as early as 1907 and, from January 1, 1911, officially operated under the name Benz-Werke Gaggenau GmbH. Where self-propelled fire-fighting vehicles were concerned, the gasoline engine had slowly but steadily prevailed against the electric motor and the steam engine.
