This unit is a special purpose truck, designed to clean up and transport oil spills and other hazardous liquids. Many German fire services operate similar rigs, as a component of their fleet to address hazmat incidents, and they are often assigned on a regional basis. These types of tankers have been in daily use for the past forty years or so...

They are not normally used to transport water for firefighting, although I imagine they could be pressed into service after a good clean out...
