EV Daily | Rosenbauer Launches Panther 6x6 Electric Fire Truck for Airports, Boosting E-Mobility in Rescue

【Others】

Austrian emergency vehicle manufacturer Rosenbauer has introduced its new Panther 6x6 electric fire truck, designed for airport rescue operations. This model features four electric motors, providing superior performance compared to diesel alternatives. It builds on the development of the RT electric fire truck, already in service in Berlin, Los Angeles, and Paris. The Panther 6x6 can charge using both AC and DC power, and its water pumps can run on battery or auxiliary power. Rosenbauer aims to set a standard in e-mobility for firefighting, contributing to net-zero goals and offering performance advantages for airport fire departments. The newest midsize crossover from Stellantis, the Vauxhall Frontera, offers both mild hybrid ICE and BEV drivetrain options at the same price point. This price parity challenges the notion that EVs are more expensive than gas cars. The Frontera is part of Stellantis' European brand revitalization, available in five or seven-seat configurations. The hybrid features a 1.2-liter turbo engine with 48-volt technology, while the fully electric version offers a range of up to 248 miles. Both versions include a digital cockpit, with additional features in the GS trim. There's no confirmation of a U.S. release under Dodge or Jeep branding.
