The ACMAT VLRA: A Vehicle Born for Intervention
The ACMAT VLRA (Light Reconnaissance and Support Vehicle) was developed in the 1980s to meet the specific needs of the French armed forces and emergency services. This all-terrain vehicle stands out for its exceptional robustness and ability to navigate the most challenging terrains, essential qualities for intervention in forest environments.
Equipped with a permanent all-wheel drive and a significant ground clearance, the VLRA can carry up to one ton of payload while maintaining excellent mobility. Its modular design allows it to be adapted to numerous missions, from military reconnaissance to rescue interventions, as is the case for this model specifically equipped for forest fire fighting.
The success of the VLRA among French fire and rescue services is due to its reliability and ease of maintenance, crucial advantages during emergency interventions in natural environments.
ACMAT: French Expertise in All-Terrain Vehicles
The story of ACMAT (Mechanical Construction Workshops of the Atlantic) began in 1958 in Saint-Nazaire. This French company quickly specialized in the design and manufacture of military and civilian all-terrain vehicles, developing a globally recognized expertise in this demanding field.
By the 1980s, during the creation of the VLRA, ACMAT had already built a solid reputation for its robust and reliable vehicles. The company worked closely with the French army and emergency services to develop solutions tailored to specific operational needs. This pragmatic approach allowed ACMAT to create vehicles perfectly suited to the challenges of the terrain, whether for military operations or civil interventions such as fighting forest fires.
The Guardians of the Breton Forest
The rescue center in Guéméné sur Scorff, a small municipality in Morbihan, perfectly illustrates how fire and rescue services adapt to local specificities. This region, characterized by a landscape of heathland and forests, presents a particular risk of fires, especially during dry summer periods that affect even Brittany.
The use of the VLRA in this fire station meets a concrete need: the ability to access forest areas quickly that are often difficult to reach with conventional vehicles. The narrow and sometimes steep forest paths of Morbihan require compact yet robust vehicles capable of carrying the equipment necessary for fire fighting.
These specialized vehicles are equipped with water tanks, high-pressure pumps, and personal protective equipment adapted for combating vegetation fires. Their characteristic red livery and specialized equipment make them essential players in the protection of the Breton forest environment.
The deployment of this type of equipment in rural rescue centers reflects the evolution of fire-fighting strategies, now adapted to the geographical and climatic specifics of each region, including traditionally less exposed areas like Brittany.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
