Penta supply 132 kWh of energy capacity to a pair of electric motors — one at each of the two axles — with the juice to offer 360 kW of peak power or 260 kW of continuous power. That's the equivalent of 490 peak hp or 350 continuous ponies. Backup power is offered by a 300-hp BMW-supplied inline-six engine that runs onfuel and serves as a range extender. Both the batteries and diesel engine can also be used to pump up to 1,500 gallons of water per minute.
The truck is fitted with seating for seven occupants. It has an air-adjustable suspension system that can raise from its low of 7 inches of ground clearance up to a maximum of 19 inches for off-road travel or to ford deep water. All-wheel steering can be configured in both counter- and crab-steering modes.
The engine has been assigned to LAFD Station 82 in Hollywood. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District also placed an order for the electric fire engine, and it's expected to take delivery in 2023.
Of course they do. CA has so much money to spend. They love giving money to useless projects.
Water + electricity = 🤔
It can hose itself if the batteries catch fire....
