The issuer/originator is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Products * New PANTHER generation and the BUFFALO extreme * New portable pump and an even lighter helmet * New aerial ladder and an AT on a Rosenbauer chassis Rosenbauer is the no.1 fire service supplier and the fire industry's technology leader. At the Interschutz, the group will be exhibiting its entire range of goods and services with a special emphasis on its latest innovations. These include the fourth generation of the PANTHER ARFF, an aerial ladder with a previously unattained action radius and new cage, and the first municipal fire truck, which from the chassis to the superstructure comes entirely from the Rosenbauer Group. In addition, numerous firsts in the extinguishing system, technical and personal protection equipment, and operational management segments will round off the group presentation at the fair. The new PANTHER The PANTHER forms the centerpiece of the Interschutz presentation. Rosenbauer will be showing the fourth generation of the world's most successful ARFF, which for the first time is fitted with the environment-friendly Euro 6 engine, the latest assistance systems and completely newly developed extinguishing technology. During the development work, a special focus was placed on the safety of the crew, which is now still better protected by the new cabin and the latest PANTHER also offers comfort of a standard previously unseen in a fire truck. In addition, the design of the vehicle is now even more reminiscent of its feline namesake. Two versions of the new PANTHER will be on display at the fair, in the shape of the new 4x4 and the new 6x6. The HEROS-titan With the HEROS-titan, Rosenbauer has developed what is currently the lightest, full protection helmet on the market. The brand new helmet is the successor to the HEROS-xtreme and will be making its debut at the Interschutz. It is considerably lighter than its predecessor and above all stands out due to increased wearer comfort. The helmet lamp has also been further developed and in another global first, a heat imaging camera fits into the same niche providing firefighters with an eye level display. The HEROS-titan derives its high mechanical stability from both a new geometry and an innovative material compound, while the fresh design lends the helmet an extremely dynamic and sporty appearance. The BUFFALO extreme If the latest PANTHER numbers among the world's fastest fire trucks, then the new BUFFALO undoubtedly is one of the biggest. The vehicle has been specially developed for the transport of vast amounts of extinguishing agents safely and reliably over even the most difficult of terrain. Built on a heavy load chassis and with a total weight of 68 t, the 3.5 m-wide giant can carry no less than 33,000 l of extinguishing agents to the operational scene. Man-sized special tires and uncompromising all-wheel drive provide the BUFFALO extreme's exceptional off-road capabilities, which predestine it for operations wherever no paved roads exist. The L32A-XS 2.0 The L32A-XS 2.0 is a further development of the aerial ladder and possesses an unsurpassed action radius. It can now operate in even smaller spaces and be smoothly raised still closer to an object. In addition, the cage can also be lowered at a shorter distance to the cab. A new podium enhances the safety of any members of the emergency services using the truck, while a new cage increases firefighters' rescue capacity. With an improvement in payload capacity to 500 kg for aerial ladders with working heights of up to 32 m, above all the new cage offers advantages during the rescue of bed-ridden patients, or those with walking difficulties. These can now be transported safely in wheelchairs or on heavy stretchers. The FOX S The new Rosenbauer FIX S portable pump is strong, slim and smart in every regard. It constitutes an entirely new development with an innovative engine, fresh technology and optimized operating comfort. It has an output of 1,100 l/ min at 10 bar and therefore fits smoothly into the ranks of Rosenbauer's portable pumps between the BEAVER and the FOX. It is markedly lighter and narrower than the large FOX and these features provide corresponding advantages during installation in fire service vehicles and transport. Moreover, the pump is operated using Rosenbauer's uniform Logic Control System, which is also employed to equip group vehicles. An AT on the Commander What has been used successfully by the US fire services for the past three years can now be seen for the first time in Europe. Namely, a complete municipal fire truck manufactured entirely within the Rosenbauer Group on a one-stop-shopping basis and offering features coordinated to perfection. The chassis comes from Rosenbauer Motors in Wyoming, MN, the superstructure from the European premium class AT (Advanced Technology) vehicle series and the extinguishing technology from the parent company in Leonding. In fact, the AT on the Commander has everything that distinguishes a top class, state-of-the-art fire truck and moreover, this technical package is wrapped up in a superb design. The Interschutz focuses on new products within the framework of a specific event. However, at Rosenbauer innovation constitutes a permanent process. Accordingly, the group's technical specialists and engineering experts are already hard at work producing the next round of new developments.
