The Panther 6x6 Electric can handle over 90% of its daily tasks purely on electric power, but it includes a diesel generator for emergency situations
Rosenbauer has introduced a fully electric version of the diesel Panther 6x6 truck. The Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Vehicle has a combined output of 1,200 hp. A diesel-powered Energy Backup System ensures continuous use of the pump. Hearing the words EV and fire in the same sentence might inadvertently trigger some alarm bells, but in the case of the Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Electric, that reaction couldn’t be further from the truth.
According to Rosenbauer, the 0-80 km/h sprint can be completed in 19.7 seconds, leaving the diesel-powered Panther 6x6 in the dust. Of course, comparisons with road cars are tempting, but hardly fair. Sure, a Dacia Spring could beat it off the line, but that’s hardly the point. For a vehicle of this purpose that weighs up to 80,000-85,000 pounds when loaded, such acceleration is genuinely impressive. At full throttle, the vehicle can reach a top speed of 75 mph .
