The team uses a Toyota Hilux 4x4 as our primary response vehicle, which is backed up by a Land Rover Defender 110. The Hilux has all the off-road capabilities the team requires to assist in any of our Mountain Rescue call-outs. The Hilux has decent control, High, Low gear ratio and you can select either 2 wheels or 4 wheel drive. The Toyota, as well as the Land Rover, is also fitted with a snorkel for those wet, flooded roads.

With most capable 4x4 off-road vehicles, Mobile one has fitted BF Goodrich All-Terrain Tyres, which helps with traction in muddy or snowy conditions. The cab can take five adults, it's fitted with two digital radios and a police banded radio. There is an aftermarket roof rack which carries additional equipment and is ideal to stow the team members rucksacks.

As you can see from the video there is a lot of rescue equipment the team requires to respond to a varied number of callouts. The rear has been specially adapted to a design to help the team efficiently store all of the equipment. The four main compartments carry all of the medical kit, crag and rope gear, stretcher and casualty bag.

The Conversion of the Base Toyota Hilux to a Mountain Rescue Vehicle was thoughtfully designed by APB of Peterborough and the team's logistics manager, Matt.
