LAFD RTX Walkaround

Todd McBride, the sales and marketing manager for Rosenbauer America, introduces the all new RTX, a firetruck with an electric portion and a diesel range extender. When the batteries reach 20%, the range extender will kick in and recharge the batteries in as little as 45 minutes, extending operation for another 4-6 hours. The truck also has an adjustable air suspension that allows for different ground clearances for various conditions, such as driving, off-road, wading, and fording. The cab of the truck has been designed to feel like a command center and has no engine tunnel. The truck also has a number of features to improve safety and convenience for firefighters.
