Revolution in the fire brigade: The electric panther inspires at the Salzburgring!

Salzburgring, Österreich - on May 20 and 21, 2025, rosenbauer in an impressive event at the Salzburgring in the area of electromobility: Panther Electric. This full-electric airport fire engine is considered pioneering and combines the proven security and functionality of the current generation of vehicle with the advantages of electromobility.

The Panther Electric impresses with excellent performance, reduced noise emissions and lower emissions compared to conventional models. The vehicle meets all the globally valid standards and requirements for airport extinguishing vehicles, including the standards of ICAO, NFPA 414/1900 and FAA. The presentation attracted guests from 40 nations who were able to find out about the innovative technology.

technical innovations and functionality

An essential feature of the Panther Electric is the integrated Energy Backup System. This system enables an additional energy supply through a compact diesel engine, which can be activated in an emergency or for extended trips or training. This not only ensures continuous energy supply, but also increases performance by a so -called "boost". The charging connection design corresponds to the current automotive standards and supports various loading processes, including interpretation of direct current, which can be used to achieve loading times of approximately 45 minutes, depending on the existing infrastructure.

The vehicle uses its own e-drive platform that is specially tailored to the requirements of an airport fire engine. The electrical drive and the battery package are based on proven and robust components that promise long -lasting use. Even if the lifespan of the batteries depends heavily on the usage profile, a constant extinguishing performance is promised that is in no way inferior to the diesel version, but without emissions and with reduced noise development.

context for sustainable mobility

The idea of the Panther Electric falls into a larger context in which the transformation for sustainable mobility is promoted. According to a report by kpmg , a significant increase in infrastructure expansion is required in order to achieve the EU targets for electromobility. By 2050, over 1,000 charging stations per day are required to cover the growing need for electric vehicles and the associated electricity requirements. The need to renew and expand the electricity infrastructure is of central importance and is supported by regulatory framework conditions that promote the structure of renewable energies and the integration of sustainable energy sources.

The Panther Electric is therefore not only an innovative product in the field of airport extinguishing equipment, but also an important step towards a sustainable and emission -free future, with the course for a green mobility turn.
