All 208 Service and Emergency Vehicles in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic

Service and emergency vehicles are the trucks, cars and buses that look after a republic's everyday needs and its emergencies in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Garbage trucks and sewage cisterns handle waste, water trucks deliver water, and snowplows clear snow from roads. Fire trucks, ambulances, police cars and prison buses cover emergencies and law and order, from fires and patients to patrols and prisoner transfers. Each one is a road vehicle bought for a specific civic job, and together they keep homes, factories and roads working.

How to get service and emergency vehicles

You buy service and emergency vehicles as road vehicles, and each one is assigned to the building or station that matches its job. Fire trucks go to fire stations, while the police and prison vehicles work through police service.

The same base vehicle often serves more than one job, so the model name alone doesn't tell you its role. The Tatra T-111 is set up as a sewage truck, a snowplow, a water truck, a waste truck and a fire truck. The Mark P shows up in sewage, snow, water, waste and fire roles too, and the FSO Warszawa M20 comes as both an ambulance and a police car.

Water and sewage trucks

Water and sewage trucks only matter when water management is turned on in the game settings, because sewage falls under that same optional system. With it switched off, these vehicles have nothing to do, so there's no reason to buy them. With it on, water reaches buildings through pipes or by truck, and the trucks are the other way to get it where it's needed.

A water truck has to be stationed at a technical services building, and you need to assign the water source it loads from. It can fill up at a water loading and unloading station, a water treatment plant or a customs house. The treatment plant can supply treated water, and the customs house sells water on demand. Once loaded, the truck delivers on its own to buildings or a water substation, as long as they're within the range of that technical services building.

Sewage cisterns do the opposite job. They pick up wastewater from around town and carry it on to treatment.

Garbage trucks and big container trucks

Waste management is another optional setting, and it can be turned off, set to Waste, or set to Waste + Demolition. Once it's on, workers and many buildings produce waste that has to be collected, or the republic becomes polluted. Garbage trucks and big container trucks do that collecting. With Waste + Demolition, they also clear away the waste from buildings you tear down, leaving a clean spot to build on.

Garbage trucks pick up from buildings and from the trash containers placed near them. Big container trucks handle the big containers, which factories usually use and which can also sit at container stands in housing areas. The two aren't interchangeable: a garbage truck can only take small containers, and a big container truck can only take big ones.

Both kinds of truck are based at a technical services building, where you set the source each waste type goes to. You can assign sources for metal scrap, aluminium scrap, biological waste, plastic waste, hazardous waste and mixed waste. A full truck heads to its assigned source, and you can also schedule a truck on a direct line. Mixed waste goes to a separation plant, where the useful materials are separated out.

Snowplows for winter roads

Snowplows clear snow from roads, which keeps traffic and municipal routes moving through winter. The job is simple, but the models vary a lot in size and speed, from small early plows on old truck chassis to heavy Tatra trucks.

Fire trucks and fire stations

Fire trucks respond to fires, and they're based at fire stations. Fire stations are a necessity in any region with industry or population centers, so plan for one wherever there's industry or a town.

Firefighter numbers depend on the trucks, since some models need more personnel than others. That means the truck you choose and the crew you need to staff the station go hand in hand.

Ambulances, police cars and prison buses

Ambulances carry patients, and they're the group that handles the medical side of emergencies.

Police cars handle routine patrols and calls around town. Police service is part of the Crime and Justice side of the game, and it needs both the cars and trained workers to run.

Prison buses transfer prisoners. The range runs from small vans for short transfers to large buses for bigger groups.

Which vehicles to pick for the job

There's no single best vehicle in this group, because the right choice depends on the route you're running and the service it's for. Some models are simply built for bigger loads. The T815 sewage truck takes the largest wastewater load, at 11 cubic meters, while the T138 water truck holds the most water, at 11.5 cubic meters.

On the waste side, the Rmn 12-215 has the highest mixed-waste capacity among the garbage trucks. For moving people, the Ifa-W50 prison bus takes up to 18 passengers, more than any other prison bus.

Speed and age matter too. The earliest models, such as the RuBalt T40/65, top out at 20 km/h, while many later models reach 90 km/h or more, which matters on longer routes. The horse-drawn wagons and carriages from the earliest years don't have a listed speed, and production dates stretch from those carriages to models still in production.

FAQ

How many fire trucks can a fire station hold?

A fire station can house up to four fire trucks. The base game only includes one fire station design, so that's the layout you'll be working with.

Which police car is the fastest?

The E80 DX is the fastest police car in this group, with a top speed of 180 km/h. It was built between 1983 and 1990.

What is a fire ladder truck for?

The W50 fire ladder is the ladder-equipped option in the fire truck group, and its job is helping fire crews reach high places. It's an East German W50, built between 1962 and 1990.

How close should container stands be to houses?

Keep container stands close to the buildings they serve, since workers only carry their waste about 125 meters on a gravel footpath. Stands also mean garbage trucks don't have to visit every building.
