This is also why there is still an onboard diesel generator. It will be very interesting how well the electric fire trucks will cope in the real world as it's a much more demanding application than an ordinary electric truck. So far, only a few units were built and entered pilot service in Berlin, Amsterdam, and Dubai, as well as were demonstrated around the world, including in the U.S. This is one way Volvo Penta has optimized the design and adapted the complete electric driveline system for a specific vehicle, considering the exact application, usage, climate, and environment it will operate in.' The new ACU draws on a 600V system вЂ“ instead of the conventional 24V вЂ“ this extra power allows Volvo Penta to not only cool the batteries but also offer cooling capacity to the Rosenbauer vehicle.

This component was developed in part collaboration with Rosenbauer. 'Due to the required compact dimensions of a city fire truck, Volvo Penta created a new Active Cooling Unit (ACU). To achieve this, the Volvo Penta engineers created a system that is completely cutting edge in terms of Volvo Group technology.' All four electric machines have to be able to run simultaneously вЂ“ two for propulsion, one for the range extender to provide extra battery power, and one for electric power takeoff, if fire-fighters want to rotate the foam pump for example. 'Unlike other Volvo Group EVs that might have two or sometimes three electric machines, the RT required four to do its job. The vehicle uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system and a six-cylinder diesel engine in case the 50 kWh or 100 kWh battery runs out of electricity. The Swedish company has adapted EV technology from Volvo Trucks and Volvo Buses to create a dedicated setup for the RT, which utilizes a completely new vehicle architecture.
