Reduce Fuel Consumption
Nationally, 80% of runs are EMS or non-Fire related calls. Chassis diesel engines use up to 1.5 gallons of fuel per hour idling. Save up to 1.25 gallons of fuel using the GREEN Star™ idle reduction technology system. Our system maintains apparatus 12 volt system, 120 volt sytem and chassis heating and cooling systems when the fire pump is not engaged.

Meeting EPA Emission Standards
To comply with the EPA's revised emission standards, OEM chassis manufacturers are using Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) that can become clogged due to frequent idling. DPF service can cost as much as $5,000 per truck. Rosenbauer's GREEN Star™ system utilizes an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to bypass the main chassis engine, reducing the strain on the DPF, saving thousands in fuel expenses and service fees.

Go Green! Recieve Some Green
Auxiliary Power Units (APU) are eligible in many states for up to 100% reimbursement from Clean Diesel Grant program funds. Contact your local Rosenbauer for assistance finding grants available in your area.

Reduces operatining costs
Fuel, oil changes, DPF service all can cost into the thousands. Start saving through the use of idle reduction technology by Rosenbauer.

Aerial Command Seat
Aerial Command Seat (ACS) affords great visibility for aerial operations. With the ACS, operators will have control of the aerial and waterway monitor functions at their fingertips. The ACS is going to be an added benefit for operators' stations at the turntable while having personnel in the on the aerial or in a platform operating the aerial. It will add extra comfort on long lasting fires and reduce the stress on firemen standing for long periods of time. The new, single joystick controls the aerial raise/lower function, as well as the extend/retract and left-to-right functions. By simply flipping a switch, the monitor's stream, pattern, up/down and left-to-right functions can equally be controlled from the joystick. The joystick will also be able to activate the aerial's AC and DC lights, as well as switch the aerial speed between high and low. Four different lights on the joystick will illuminate to indicate which functions are selected. The Can-Bus joystick uses the latest technology allowing our in-house staff to set-up each Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to assure a safe, smooth and easy-to-operate aerial using this single control. (Not available on T-Rex or Raptor)

EZ Load Hosebed
Loading hose on aerial hosebed's is now safer with Rosenbauer's EXCLUSIVE EZ Load electric hosebed. The hosebed simply lowers off the side of apparatus for easy access to the well. Capable to stowing 1500 ft.of rubberized 5" intake hose. Our control switch is mounted at the rear of the body.
