How often do you see a luftpresser?

It has a caption that roughly translated is this.
Right side (cylinder 1 and 2) run as drive, left side (cylinder 3 and 4) run as air compressor.

Quite the interesting contraption.

There is even a small movie of it too.

In Europe you can see VW Boxer engines often on small trailers for the fire fighters => pumping water. It's a nightmare when they start the engine (rev. high). But they withstand the requirements.

By the way: Luftpresser = air compressor (literal translation - sorry). The correct german word is Kompressor (not Luftpresser) ;)

Yep I agree with you Gaston right in front of my window I can see the fire dept. "building" and they have 2 of these, they still seem to run fine,,, maybe we'll be able to get few of them in few years like the old Post vans who knows :twisted:
