PANTHER electric
Electric aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle (ARFF).
Uncompromising. Powerful. Sustainable

Lower emissions. More sustainability. Less noise and air pollution.

The electric drive of the PANTHER electric has a major impact on the working conditions and health of firefighters: the significantly lower emission levels in terms of noise, vibrations and exhaust fumes minimize constant stress for the body and mind, making daily work less strenuous. This ensures greater safety during exercises and operations and significantly reduces the strain on emergency crews over their entire working lives.

Better climate and CO2 footprint

Another major advantage of the PANTHER electric is its direct environmental impact. As the electric drive does not involve any combustion processes, exhaust emissions are completely avoided in most operational scenarios. This is not only good for the climate, but it also helps to improve the CO2 footprint of the airport fleet. As a pioneer in the electrification of firefighting vehicles, Rosenbauer also stands for absolute reliability – and has done so for many years.

More dynamic. Absolutely safe

Reliable as usual. Full extinguishing performance

Pumps and turrets

The PANTHER electric extinguishing performance is on par with its driving performance. Pumps with a flow rate of up to 9,000 l/min or 400 l/min (high pressure) and a roof turret with an output capacity of maximum 9,000 l/min as well as 100 m throw range are available. They are fed from water tanks with a capacity of up to 12,000 liters.

Extremely resilient. Quickly charged.

Sufficient reserves

The battery of the PANTHER electric is designed to save weight, but it still has a nominal capacity of 256 kWh. This means that multiple firefighting operations on the airfield, including the journey there, can be completed at full speed.

Energy Backup System

To prevent the PANTHER electric battery from running out, an Energy Backup System is provided onboard. This additional power supply system keeps the charge level stableduring extended operations or exercises using a diesel
generator.

Shortest charging times

The 650-volt technology enables charging capacities of up to 300 kW. This means the PANTHER electric battery quickly recharges to 100% after operations or training. A full charge takes just 45 minutes, and a typical operation takes just 15 minutes, including high-speed driving and emptying the entire tank.

Performance average daily consumption* – purely electrical.

Unique dynamics: from 0 to 80 km/h in under 20 seconds

In pure battery operation, the PANTHER 6×6 electric accelerates from 0 to 80 km/h in under 25 seconds. In RIV / Boost mode, which combines the energy from the battery and the Energy Backup System, the time for this sprint is even reduced to under 20 seconds.

Maximum extinguishing performance

The PANTHER electric extinguishing technology is just as powerful as its electric drive. Pumps with up to 9,000 l/min in normal or 400 l/min in high-pressure range, as well as a roof turret with an output quantity of up to 9,000 l/min and a 100 m throw range, ensure an excellent extinguishing performance. They are supplied by water tanks with a capacity of up to 12,000 liters.

Endurance and ultra-fast charging

Despite its optimized weight, the PANTHER electric battery pack boasts a nominal capacity of 256 kWh. This allows for multiple emergency runs of two to three minutes each under full load, followed by extinguishant discharge. A significant
ly higher gross capacity also ensures a consistently high storage capacity over the entire service life of the vehicle and allows a state-of-charge of 100%, even over long periods of time.
After an emergency or training drive, the PANTHER electric battery is quickly recharged at the DC charging station. The 650-volt technology enables a charging capacity of up to 300 kW. This means that the battery is fully charged in
just 45 minutes – from 0 to 100%.
