Interested emergency organizations can now order the new ROSENBAUER PANTHER 6×6 electric. The electric drive platform developed by Rosenbauer for the PANTHER 6×6 electric, with its associated high-voltage batteries, provides sufficient energy for the two- to three-minute drive to the operation site, the discharge of the entire extinguishing agent, and the return trip in accordance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Initial tests with prototypes show that multiple trips can be completed on a single battery charge and, under certain conditions, the vehicle can accelerate to 80 km/h in under 20 seconds. The PANTHER electric can be charged with both direct and alternating current and has a maximum charging capacity of 400 hp. An Energy Backup System is installed in the vehicle to ensure continuous use and the vehicle’s unrestricted operational capability. The vehicle’s pump can be operated either electrically or in combination with the Energy Backup System. The firefighting system performance (pump, foam proportioning, turret) is the same as that of the conventionally powered PANTHER. —emobility.rosenbauer.com/de/roadmap/panther-electric
