Unlike Honda’s Acty Crawler 6×6, the Rosenbauer PANTHER 6×6 electric fire truck looks to be straight from a science fiction film. Power comes from a quad electric motor setup making 1,200 hp when ‘boost mode’ is activated, enabling the 85,000 pound vehicle to hit 50 mph in 19.7 seconds.
Its 256 kWh battery pack is good 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. PANTHER supports 300 kW fast charging, which enables it to charge from zero to 100 percent in just 45 minutes. To fight fires, its tanks boast can hold up to 3,170 gallons of water, 383 gallons of foam, and 551 pounds of powder.

With the PANTHER 6×6 electric, we want to once again set the standard in a product category by combining a powerful, fully electric drive with the highest safety standards in its class. This innovation not only contributes to the net-zero goals of many airports but also meets the high expectations of our customers in terms of performance,” said Andreas Zeller, Chief Sales Officer of Rosenbauer International.
