Jelcz 004m

In 1979, a modernised version of the GCBA 6/32 vehicle, designated 004M, entered production. The changes primarily affected the water-foam system and fittings. Electropneumatic control of the truck pump from the driver’s cab was also introduced. The vehicle received a new DWP24 firefighting monitor manufactured by Zakłady Sprzętu Pożarniczego in Łódź, replacing the imported Rosenbauer firefighting monitors. At the same time, production of the version equipped with two firefighting monitors was discontinued. From 1982, the vehicle was mounted on a modernized Jelcz P325 chassis. The Jelcz 004M was produced from 1979 to 1992. For over two decades, it was the standard GCBA unit used by the fire department.
