RT/Electric Firetruck
The RT is based on a radical new design, making it unlike any other vehicle. It represents a milestone in firefighting technology. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the hybrid vehicle combines safety, ergonomics, functionality and digital operational support – with a strong focus on sustainability. Rescue workers, affected persons and local residents alike will appreciate this vehicle’s revolutionary technology and battery powered drive, enabling emissions-free and virtually silent operations. So the RT is setting new visionary standards in climate protection, noise control and health protection.
Reaching your destination safely. The drive design with its low center of gravity and balanced, even axle load distribution provides important handling stability in every situation.
Small turning radius. The newly developed wheel suspension facilitates a larger steering angle. This considerably reduces the turning radius, especially in an all-wheel drive system.
Keeping a clear view. Sophisticated sensor technology in the electronic mirror system combined with blind spot detectors and rear cameras provide valuable operational support for the driver.
Digital connections. The RT has its own communication system with autonomous Wi-Fi, drone integration and a permanent link to the operations center and EMEREC data center. This enables the direct transfer of crucial data.
Rosenbauer Introduces the Battery Extinguishing System Technology (BEST)
Facing an electric vehicle fire in your community is not a matter of if, but when. Rosenbauer has the safest, most efficient way to respond to this call when it comes. The Rosenbauer Battery Extinguishing System Technology (BEST) is the most advanced system available on the market with six years of research and development, and real-world application testing with automotive partners and fire departments.
Key BEST Product Information and Data:
- Safe – The field-proven design keeps the operator 26’ from the involved EV while operating the BEST, limiting exposure to heat and highly toxic fumes released from a lithium-ion battery fire.
- Efficient – Bringing water exactly where it is needed to effectively cool the battery pack, modules, and cells from within. The ability to halt a thermal runaway battery pack fire in as little as 10 minutes, flowing at a mere 8 gal/min at 100 PSI, far less than using the current EV manufacturer safety data sheets advising a minimum of 8,000 gallons of water to achieve the same results.
- Fast – Simple operation and setup can be achieved in less than 2 minutes; deployment of the piercing nozzle happens in 8 milliseconds gaining internal access to effectively cool all battery pack designs.
