As a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, which has a long and successful history of developing electric vehicles, Pierce now will be offering a groundbreaking new option in the market – an electric fire truck. This new offering is bound to be industry-changing with zero emissions, reduced noise, and a fire-station charging base infrastructure!

An Oshkosh patented parallel-electric drivetrain featuring an electro-mechanical infinitely variable transmission allows zero-emissions operation when powered by the integrated onboard batteries. 

The chassis will operate under electric power in all normal operational situations and will leverage the internal combustion engine for backup power in extended emergency operations.

Standardized Pierce pumping configurations, up to 2000 gpm, are driven through the electric driveline and are powered by either the integrated onboard batteries or the internal combustion engine.

The driveline allows for zero emissions during quick attack responses, and has the ability to transition seamlessly to internal combustion power for extended pumping operations.

A fire station-based, all encompassing vehicle charging infrastructure provides operational readiness. 

Charging solutions are tailored to provide an unobtrusive installation necessary for any station. Established nationwide energy experts offer simple, fast charging solutions capable of full vehicle recharge in less than 90 minutes.
