Virtual reality training : Cardiac arrest. Trapped. Now drilled skills count.
After a serious road traffic collision, the Golden Period of Trauma is ticking away. In cardiac arrest, the chance of survival without CPR drops by around 10% per minute. With the Car-X Simulator and VR training, your responders practice both incidents until every move is second nature.

Technical rescue · With hydraulic rescue tools
Car-X Simulator
Every cut, as often as needed.
On the Car-X, your team practices technical rescue with spreader, cutter and rescue ram: door, hinges, A and B pillars, strut tower, dash roll. In the apparatus bay, whatever the weather, with no broken glass and no vehicle fluids. After the drill, you swap the wear parts, and the next group trains under the same conditions.

Routine with rescue tools, before the real call.
On the Car-X, more responders get more repetitions, even in winter. Two people set it up in about 5 minutes, and after the drill it is quickly ready for use again. That way the Car-X complements training on real vehicles and makes it more productive.
What your team practices until it becomes routine
- Force the door open
- Cut the hinges
- Cut A and B pillars, including a strut tower cut
- Dash roll with an additional safeguard
- EV awareness at the simulated high-voltage cable
- Patient care on the rescue manikin

Cardiac arrest: this much of the chance of survival is lost per minute in which nobody starts chest compressions. After 3-5 minutes, there is a risk of permanent brain damage.
When time is short, routine takes over.
Routine comes from repetition. Yet for the individual responder, a serious road traffic collision is a rare call. The vfdb fact sheet on guideline 06/01 attaches considerable importance to initial and continuing training, especially when call volumes are low.
The Car-X Simulator and VR training bring both incidents to your drill nights, realistically and as often as needed. So that in the decisive moment, nobody is acting for the first time.

Answered before procurement
FAQs on the Car-X Simulator and VR training
How does the training make operations safer?
Through routine. For the individual responder, a serious road traffic collision is a rare call. Small units in particular are called out rarely overall: in Rhineland-Palatinate, 55% of responders surveyed in municipalities with up to 999 inhabitants said their unit has fewer than one call a month. The vfdb fact sheet on guideline 06/01 attaches considerable importance to initial and continuing training, especially when call volumes are low. On the Car-X, your team practices the moves with hydraulic rescue tools until they are second nature, under the same conditions for every group. In VR CPR training, real-time feedback corrects mistakes immediately, and in VR TH VU Training, exam mode shows whether the procedures are second nature. A randomized study shows what regular practice achieves: after one year, 58% of those who practiced monthly achieved excellent chest compressions in a manikin test, compared with 15% with annual training (Anderson et al. 2019). According to a PwC study (2020), VR learners have up to 275% more confidence in applying what they have learned.
Can I rent the Car-X or book training?
Both. You can rent the Car-X for a training day or a training week, with transport via trailer hitch. Or you book training with our experienced instructors, also at your location. We put together the terms individually for you.
How does the Car-X relate to training on real vehicles?
It complements real-vehicle training and makes it more productive. On the simulator, responders build routine with hydraulic rescue tools, with high repetition rates and reproducible results. Time on the practice vehicle is then free for what can only be practiced there.
Can I experience the systems live before buying?
Yes. We demonstrate the Car-X and the VR systems live, the Car-X also at your location. Your responders put on the VR headset themselves. Select “Live demo” in the form. We will get back to you within 24 h and agree on date and location with you.
Is the training also available at our location?
Yes. We train with your responders at your location, on the Car-X with experienced instructors. On request, this includes a briefing, with first aid training and medical training. We set out scope and terms in your quote.
Do I have to include all three systems in my procurement?
Each system can be used on its own. VR CPR training covers cardiac arrest. The Car-X Simulator and VR TH VU Training cover technical rescue at road traffic collisions, the Car-X with hydraulic rescue tools, VR TH VU Training in VR. Together, they cover both incidents. Where you start depends on which incident has been missing from your training the longest.
What does VR training for the fire department cost, and what is included?
VR CPR training and VR TH VU Training each cost 2,999 € net as a complete system with VR app, Meta Quest 3S and transport case. VR CPR training also includes the CPR training manikin. Public authorities and municipalities can purchase on account, as an XRechnung on request. We will state the price of the Car-X Simulator in your quote.
Is VR CPR training also suitable for companies?
Yes. Besides fire departments, EMS and civil protection, it is designed for workplace safety instruction and safety officers, as well as schools and clubs. Training follows individual learning paths, at your own pace and with real-time feedback.
Is the VR license a subscription?
The license is a perpetual license: buy once, use permanently. Updates are included in the first year, and there are no costs per training session.
What warranty and delivery time apply?
The VR hardware comes with a 2-year warranty. We deliver both VR systems in 5-10 working days, and the return period is 14 days.
How does procurement from Rescuevation work for fire departments and municipalities?
Purchase on account, as an XRechnung on request. For budget planning, we put together a quote in advance with line items and delivery time. Tell us in the form which incidents you want to train for.
What is VR training suited for in fire departments, EMS and companies?
Realistic practice takes effort: CPR needs a patient, technical rescue needs a vehicle, and both need a date when everyone is available. Simulation removes this bottleneck: with VR training, the scenario is ready as soon as the case is open, and it can be repeated until the procedure is second nature.
VR CPR training brings first aid and resuscitation into VR: CPR, AED operation, sudden unconsciousness and bleeding in five environments, from the school to the factory floor. Real-time feedback corrects mistakes immediately, and training follows individual learning paths with the included CPR training manikin. The app runs standalone on the Meta Quest 3S, and the view can be cast to a monitor or projector. That suits fire departments, EMS and civil protection as well as workplace safety instruction, safety officers, schools and clubs.
VR TH VU Training recreates technical rescue on the crashed vehicle: tunneling technique, hydraulic rescue tools, A to C pillars and dedicated modules for high voltage, airbags and seatbelt pretensioners as well as glass management. Training mode and exam mode are separate: learn, test, certify. Practice individually or as a team, with unlimited repetitions.
The Car-X Simulator brings work with hydraulic rescue tools into training: door opening, hinges, A and B pillars including the strut tower cut, dash roll and EV awareness at the simulated high-voltage cable. Only the wear parts are swapped, and the unit rolls aside on casters or travels to the drill via trailer hitch. You can buy it, rent it for a training day or a training week, or book training with experienced instructors.
Operational safety comes from routine. For the individual responder, a serious road traffic collision is a rare call. The vfdb fact sheet on guideline 06/01 attaches considerable importance to initial and continuing training, especially when call volumes are low. Realistic scenarios, immediately corrected mistakes and repetition until the procedure is second nature turn knowledge into procedures you can recall even under stress.
Both VR systems come with a perpetual license and a 2-year warranty on the VR hardware, and the delivery time is 5-10 working days. We demonstrate the systems live and train with your responders at your location, on request with a briefing including first aid training and medical training.
