Well, it's an extension ladder; I think they could probably get it to a length of 3.5 meters. Which might get them to a height of three meters, if they were lucky.

Obviously the purpose of the ladder is to make it look like a firetruck. Without the ladder it looks like a cop car...or perhaps a cryogenic ambulance. :-)

Reading the press on this gadget, I don't think there's any connection between the water tankage and the fuel cells, despite what's been said. I think it's just a fuel-cell car witha water tank on the back.

There's a lot of "concept cars" that can't even be driven. Most of them show up at car shows and are displayed on a turntable with Jane Jetson leaning on them. :-)
