DESCRIPTION

 

TILOS is a new-generation, light weight, highly mobile system, suited for cross country travel, designed to solve different logistic problems.

TILOS is a system formed by a multi-purpose wide body 4x4 towing vehicle, called VTL, and a towed unit, called TU.
 

The system is mobile, self-sufficient and does not need special equipment for the loading and/or unloading of its components.  

Thanks to its characteristics, TILOS is a flexible and rational answer to the requirements of modern logistics.

The design is based on the essential consideration that only integrated systems can grant operative efficiency in those areas where no facilities exist.

Both VTL and TU can be equipped following the Client’s needs and if available, specifications.

The TILOS SYSTEM can be used as Civil Protection Unit, Police Station, Rescue Unit or Mobile Health Care Unit, More TILOS can provide a very efficient and highly Mobile Hospital / Clinic.

TILOS is a very unique product available on the international market.
 

TILOS is a system composed by VTL ( tractor unit ) and TU ( towed unit ). The next paragraph describes the VTL characteristics, while a detailed image gallery can be found by clicking here.

VTL – THE TOWING VEHICLE


VTL  is a 4x4 multi-purpose vehicle designed to achieve both a great towing power and a great capacity. It has a diesel 168 HP turbo charged engine.
The body of the vehicle is entirely built in ALUMINIUM alloy and is mounted on a Mercedes Unimog 1700 L chassis.
Access to the vehicle is by means of a wing door on the left side and by a wide rear ramp.
Ten windows can be found on both right and left side, four on the rear wall and two hatches on the roof.
The great internal capacity of the vehicle – 12 m2 – is coupled to a reduced weight of the body which allows a very significant capacity of load.
The configuration of the towing unit in these pages is that of an ambulance, completely equipped for first aid intervention and reanimation purposes, but VTL can be equipped in a lot of different solutions on the basis of the Client’s needs.

TU – THE TOWED UNIT


The TU is the towed unit of the system and contains its “main function” (first aid center, consulting room, operating theater, or any other different solution required by the Client).  

The body is made of aluminum alloy, fully insulated, mounted on six wheels and on a special suspension system which allows cross country traveling reducing risks for the equipment mounted inside.

The unit is totally “energy self-sufficient”, since it has its own electricity generator, water and fuel tanks, air conditioning plant, etc.

Access to the unit is by means of two doors positioned on the front and on the rear sides of the body.

The first one leads to the technical room (power generator, pumps, air conditioning unit, etc.).

The second one is a large hatch door which, when lowered, becomes an access ramp. When this last one is down, a second inner door is operating.

Windows are provided on both sides and on the top of the unit in order to grant natural light condition inside.

A portion of the UNIT can be dedicated to rest and living room (including bathroom and kitchen facilities) for the personnel who operates the Unit.

The TU can be equipped as an operating theater

Now you have a rough idea of the TILOS System.  Think about a possible use as mobile health center :

 

VTL is the tractor of the Unit which tows the TU where the operating theater or the reanimation center has to be placed

The system reaches the area where has to work

The TU becomes a kind of a fixed structure, energy self sufficient, where the personnel can operate, live and sleep

The VTL turns to a very wide ambulance or rescue unit, which can be the shuttle of the TU

When the activities have terminated, the system can be very quickly removed to reach another area: no matter if by highway or cross-country roads

 

To satisfy the same needs, using the traditional means available on the market, one should use at least one or two ambulances, besides one or two specially equipped trucks or containers mounted on trucks: it’s easy to find out how many drivers are needed and how complicate it should be to operate so many units together.
 

Its running cost are very low: maintenance is reduced to a minimum (the bodies are made of aluminum).

TILOS is the intelligent answer to any logistic need
