EV Drive

Electric vehicle (EV) drive mode is a groundbreaking innovation that allows firefighters to operate their ARFF truck in full-electric mode. Automatically engaged, this drive mode lets drivers perform day-to-day non-emergency operations emissions free.

FAQs

Oshkosh Standy Mode

 

Standby 

During standby mode, the vehicle operates at zero emissions utilizing on-board batteries. Providing comfort and power to required systems. The engine starts as needed to maintain battery readiness.

Hybrid Acceleration

The vehicle automatically shifts to Hybrid Mode as needed for acceleration, and to maintain the batteries for maximum readiness. The internal combustion engine and batteries work together to maximize performance and improve response time, while reducing emissions. The Striker Volterra 6x6 ARFF can go 0-50 mph (0-80 km/h) in 25 seconds. Improving acceleration by 28% when fully loaded.

FAQs

Oshkosh Regenerative Braking

 

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking increases efficiency and reduces brake wear. The vehicles kinetic energy is converted to electricity, recharging the batteries, and reducing brake temperature and wear.

FAQs

Oshkosh Pump and Roll

 

Pump and Roll

Pump and roll utilizes both the engine and the battery. The advanced powertrain continuously powers the pump while the driver’s input is smoothly applied to the vehicle’s motion just like every Striker ARFF.

FAQs

Oshkosh stationary pumping

 

Stationary Pumping

Stationary pumping utilizes the internal combustion engine to efficiently power the water pump. The Command Zone Control System optimizes engine RPM based on water pump requirements to reduce emissions and noise.
