The Future of Firetrucks?
Переглядів 221,659
День томуThis week Jay is joined by the President of the Specialty Group, Mike Virnig, who brings with him, all the way from Florida, this shiny new, all-electric Firetruck! Jay and Mike spec this beast out, before taking it outside for a hose demo and a quick trip around the neighborhood. Are you ready for the future of first response? This bad boy is exactly it!

They'd probably all be negative. With my sister and her husband being career (20+ year) firefighters, they and their co-workers tend to be a very cynical and sarcaastic lot that's not a fan of change. A lifetimes of putting your life on the line and seeing people at their worst probably doesn''t help.

The REV Group's and Pierce's EVs are pretty nice rigs overall! Great spec'd rigs, good performance. My reluctance to them currently is the same as the U.S. going to other smaller EVs is the charging. We as America still rely on fossil fuels providing the electric grid, and that's not changing anytime soon. Rosenbauer's EV fire rig, that LAFD( also Las Vegas/ Clark County, NV.) has is another animal but looks way more European! Thumb's up to Jay for asking some very great questions! P.S. I've been around firefighting since we still rode tailboard, so I know something of what I speak!!
@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 25 днів тому
New coal mines opening here in West Virginia. Fossil fuels will still be around another 100 years. As well as the market is still steady at $600 per ton. People that want EVs can get them but don’t think that owning one is taking their dependency off of fossil fuel even their tires are made with coal in them.

An onboard diesel generator to charge the batteries is hilarious
@cattlerepairmancattlerepai9414 28 днів тому
Not really - just a range extender IN CASE the truck needs to remain on scene and run the pump beyond the rated battery endurance. We have scrambled many times to refill a Diesel truck on scene for the same reason. Having a range extender is a safety feature. In barn fires or similar, trucks may have to remain on scene working for eight hours or longer.

@55Bentley6 Early days? Electric vehicles have been around for over 100 years. They were inferior to ICE vehicles then and they still are today. People back then were smart enough to realize this & so the free market chose ICE vehicles over EVs. It's only now with Government mandates for EVs going into effect forcing them on people that companies are now trying to appease the Government by hastily "developing" these "new technologies". End the Government mandates and you'll see the EV fad disappear.

This is just a diesel-electric truck. Locomotives in the US have been diesel-electric since the mid 1930s. Instead of the diesel engine turning a shaft spinning the differential to drive the tires a diesel engine spins an alternator that provides power to the traction motors that drive the wheels.

I understand Jay has never been a firefighter, so I get it it, but the big Boston Chelsea fire in the early 1900s had responders from as far as Baltimore, but mismatched hose couplings were a major issue. Even with the National Standard thread standard, not everyone uses it. It is not a required standard.
