Acceleration

The vehicle automatically shifts 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.

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.

Pump and Roll

Pump and roll is a feature on every ARFF truck we manufacture. This allows the crew to have the vehicle in motion while still powering the pump using battery power.

Stationary Pumping

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

History of Electrification Development

Oshkosh Corporation has a long and extensive history developing electric drives and electric vehicle technology. Oshkosh Airport Products, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, developed the Striker Volterra ARFF vehicle utilizing this proven technology.
