MERAJ Delivers MFT-4500 Fire Fighting Vehicle to OGDCL for Togh Gas Field

A New Fire Fighting Vehicle for Togh Gas Field

Delivered for OGDCL's operations at Togh Gas Field, the MFT-4500 brings several firefighting functions into one vehicle. MERAJ integrated the pump, tanks, controls and storage into a practical operating arrangement, with access to hoses and equipment planned into the body for response work at the field itself. The handover centred on a specific truck built for the customer's industrial emergency response requirements, rather than a general-purpose vehicle fitted with unrelated equipment.

About OGDCL and the Work It Does

OGDCL is Pakistan's largest oil and gas exploration and production company. Its activities include exploring for hydrocarbons and operating producing fields that contribute to the country's energy supply. These operations require established health, safety and environment procedures, including preparation for emergencies. OGDCL's published approach to health, safety and environment includes process safety and emergency response. The firefighting vehicle forms part of the equipment specified to support the field's response arrangements.

Built for OGDCL's Fire Response Requirements

At an industrial site, the type of incident guides the response method. Water may be used for appropriate firefighting and cooling tasks. Foam provides a different application for suitable liquid-fuel incidents, while dry chemical powder has its own approved uses. OGDCL's selected configuration carries all three agents without treating them as interchangeable. This gives trained crews several options. Site procedures determine the right response.

One Vehicle, Several Response Options

Rather than relying on one firefighting method, the truck combines agent storage, pumping, discharge equipment and crew accommodation. Each part answers a different requirement within the same vehicle.

The ISUZU FVR90 at the Centre of the Build

MERAJ built the MFT-4500 on a right-hand-drive ISUZU FVR90, 4×2 chassis. The project data lists a 210 HP diesel engine, an 18-tonne gross vehicle weight rating, a six-speed forward manual transmission and a 200-litre fuel tank. The chassis carries the firefighting body and equipment. It provides the drivetrain connection for the fire pump. The configuration belongs to MERAJ's wider Urban Fire Truck range, which is configured around different operating needs.

Space for the Crew

The vehicle provides accommodation for six personnel, including four in a rear crew compartment. Seating, access and equipment stowage were considered alongside the firefighting installation, not separately from it.

Water and Foam Storage for the Field

The vehicle carries a 4,000-litre water tank and a separate 500-litre foam tank. The technical data identifies SS304 stainless steel for both tanks, with 3 mm wall thickness. Filling points, level indication, inspection access and drains are part of the specified arrangement. Keeping the agents in separate tanks lets operators check their supplies and use the foam proportioning equipment as required. The stored quantities are known; working time still depends on actual discharge rates and available replenishment.

Storage Built Into the Body

The tanks sit within the vehicle's firefighting layout, alongside piping, valves and operating controls. Crews can inspect levels and reach the specified connections from their designated positions.

Pumping Water From the Truck

A MERAJ FP-750 centrifugal fire pump is mounted at the vehicle's mid-ship position and driven through the chassis power take-off. Its specified capacity is 750 US gallons per minute (GPM). The system is arranged to draw water from the onboard tank or an external source, subject to the water supply and operating conditions. For OGDCL, this arrangement brings stored water and pumping equipment onto one truck.

A Working Pump Installation

The arrangement includes priming, pressure monitoring and pump controls. Operators use these features to establish and monitor water delivery according to the vehicle instructions and the field's response procedures.

A Roof Monitor and Hose Reels for Different Tasks

The firefighting installation includes a roof-mounted water-and-foam monitor with 360-degree horizontal rotation. The project requirement lists at least 750 GPM monitor capacity and a minimum 50-metre throw under stated operating conditions. Hose reels offer a separate means of delivering firefighting agents when a more localized approach is appropriate. This combination gives crews a choice of discharge arrangements.

A Separate Dry Chemical Powder System

The vehicle includes a dry chemical powder (DCP) system with a 250 kg-capacity vessel and a nitrogen-cylinder discharge arrangement. Its tank, hose and controls remain separate from the water-and-foam equipment. That separation matters when responders select an agent for a particular fire class or hazard. Actual agent selection and use remain governed by the site emergency plan and equipment instructions.

Equipment That Supports the Response Crew

The MFT-4500 includes emergency warning lights, searchlights, an electronic siren and a public-address system. Inside the firefighting layout, pump controls and indicators give the crew access to information on pressure, flow, engine conditions and tank levels. Equipment compartments keep the tools and connections within the designed body. The aluminum-alloy superstructure brings the systems together and provides access for operation and maintenance. These are practical details on a vehicle intended to be used by a trained response team.

Information Within Reach

Operators can check pump conditions and available agent levels through the instruments. Those readings support decisions made under the field's established firefighting procedures and operating instructions.

MERAJ's Role in the OGDCL Project

For the OGDCL project, MERAJ brought together the ISUZU chassis, purpose-built firefighting systems, equipment storage and crew arrangements to produce the MFT-4500 Fire Fighting Vehicle. The completed truck combines these systems in a single configuration developed for OGDCL's operational needs at Togh Gas Field. This project reflects MERAJ's manufacturing capabilities in specialized vehicles and firefighting equipment, which extend across its wider Fire Fighting & Rescue Vehicles portfolio.

Handover and Support After Delivery

MERAJ handed over the MFT-4500 Fire Fighting Vehicle to OGDCL on 18 August 2026 for Togh Gas Field. MERAJ's support arrangements for the vehicle also cover inspection, commissioning, operating manuals, spare-parts information and personnel training, helping OGDCL prepare for its operation and ongoing maintenance. Following delivery, MERAJ remains available through its after-sales support channel for vehicle servicing, technical assistance and equipment enquiries.

A Vehicle Configured for OGDCL's Needs

With the MFT-4500 handed over for Togh Gas Field, OGDCL has received a dedicated fire fighting vehicle built on the ISUZU FVR90 chassis. The truck combines a 4,000-litre water tank, 500-litre foam tank, mid-ship pump, roof monitor, hose reels and a separate DCP installation. Crew accommodation and operating controls are also integrated into the vehicle, providing the site's response team with multiple firefighting options.
