FT EX L (Fire Fighting Extra Large Vehicle)
The RT. Revolutionary in every way.
The RT runs on electricity. But that's not its only revolutionary feature. The electric drive is just the starting point of a long series of special design features that bring decisive advantages: for the operational procedure, the operations management system, the operational environment - and above all for the emergency crews.
The RT was not just designed to be state of the art in terms of technology. The goal was to meet the future requirements of fire services already today. This makes the RT not just a milestone for Rosenbauer, but also for the entire firefighting industry.
Features
- DRIVEElectrical. And lasting. The RT has a charging capacity of up to 150 kW, which means that the built-in batteries can be recharged in no time at all. This means that purely electric and therefore emission-free short-range operation is not a problem, even when used very frequently in big cities. Due to the built-in Energy Backup System, the RT can also run on diesel when needed, without any limitations. Flexible charging The batteries of the RT can be charged with three-phase alternating current (AC: 11 kW or 22 kW) from a high-voltage industrial socket, without the need for a special adapter. The high-performance high-voltage batteries also provide sufficient output for external consumers. Several external devices with a combined power consumption of up to 18 kW can be operated simultaneously via the power outlet. Reduced emissions When the vehicle comes to a standstill, the engine is automatically deactivated. The lighting and equipment are powered directly by the batteries. This greatly reduces the noise level at the scene of the emergency, making it easier for the crew to work, reducing stress, and benefiting nearby residents. The RT's electric drive is not only powerful, but also emission-free. The batteries ensure that no fuel is combusted while driving.
- PAYLOADRevolutionary ergonomics The revolutionary vehicle concept of the RT offers both ergonomic and tactical advantages - for less physical strain on the emergency crews and for greater operational success. Convenient entry and reduced strain when lifting Minimized removal heights Electric ladder lowering device Variable rear loading space and deep equipment space The position of the pump room has been moved forward in the RT, creating additional equipment compartment with a low loading edge in the rear of the vehicle. This results in even more storage space at a low height, with heavy equipment needing to be lifted less often.
- BODY CONCEPTRevolutionary agility: Unprecedented driving dynamics and driving safety In the RT product line, the combustion engine has not merely been replaced by an electric one. Instead, a completely new drive concept is revolutionizing the architecture of the tank firefighting vehicle, with numerous positive effects. The drive concept enables a lower center of gravity and a more balanced axle load distribution. This gives unprecedented cornering stability and thus reduces the risk of accidents. Unparalleled maneuverability Maneuverability is of the utmost importance for municipal emergency vehicles, especially in urban areas. With the RT, Rosenbauer engineers have pushed the limits of what is possible. No other vehicle with comparable extinguishing and transport capacities has such compact dimensions or an equally small turning radius.
