VECTOR All-Electric Fire Truck
North America's first fully electric fire truck, delivering zero-emission pumping and drive on a 327 kWh battery system with an optional diesel range-extender.
The VECTOR is a full-size pumper/rescue apparatus built on an entirely electric drivetrain — no diesel engine powers ground operations under normal conditions. An 800-volt DC battery pack with 327 kWh of usable capacity drives both the traction motor and the pump shaft, replacing the conventional split-shaft PTO arrangement with an electric equivalent rated to 1,250 GPM (4,739 LPM) on battery alone, and over 1,500 GPM (5,680+ LPM) when the optional compact diesel range-extender generator is active. The VECTOR is intended for municipal fire departments prioritising lower emissions and reduced noise in urban or campus environments — it also has a strong procurement fit for airport operators where airside noise constraints, sustainability targets, or low-emission zone mandates apply. A Battery Thermal Management System keeps cells at operating temperature across ambient extremes. Onboard telematics stream 40-plus parameters in real time, including state of charge, pump pressure, and incident telemetry. The optional range-extender activates automatically if battery state falls below a defined threshold, ensuring operational continuity without crew intervention. At 120 kW onboard charge capacity the truck can return to full charge in approximately three and a half hours from a suitable supply. For GCC airports with net-zero commitments — Abu Dhabi's Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's Green Initiative — the VECTOR provides a demonstrable pathway to electrified ARFF or crash-tender support roles while retaining conventional cab ergonomics familiar to existing crews.
