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.
