Airport fire truck PANTHER

4x46x68x8

Performance, innovation, design - these pillars make the PANTHER the most modern and successful ARFF vehicle in the world. Added to this is the interaction between chassis, superstructure and firefighting technology - all made by Rosenbauer.

The No. 1 among airport firefighting vehicles
The PANTHER from Rosenbauer has been the benchmark for safety at airports around the world for decades. Its success is based on its performance, innovative features and reliability. This is because the chassis, the entire superstructure and the firefighting technology are developed and manufactured by Rosenbauer.

Safety for the crew
Occupant protection is of great importance to Rosenbauer. Therefore, the PANTHER cabin was tested in a real crash test according to ECE R29-3.

Extinguishing without limit
The PANTHER's extinguishing technology is designed for maximum performance: with powerful pumps, suitable proportioning systems and turrets, HRET as well as CAFS and powder systems.

Sprint to the scene
The performance package with 750 hp and 8- gears transmission ensures acceleration from 0 to 80 km/h in 28 seconds and a top speed of 120 km/h.

Efficiency through ergonomics
All operating controls in the cockpit are ergonomically arranged. The optimized A-pillar and the new control panel increase the field of vision. The foldable centre console, integrated additional displays for color and infrared cameras and the backlit projector controls ensure maximum overview and efficiency – in every application situation.

Electronic Stability Control
For even greater safety during extreme driving maneuvers: The
electronic stability control counteracts understeer or oversteer with
targeted braking interventions.

Speed-dependent rear-axle steering
For the PANTHER 6x6 or 8x8, rear axle steering is available, which
decline the turning radius and tire wear. It is automatically
deactivated at higher speeds.

Comfort highlights
The Rosenbauer Logic Control System and the control panel with
ergonomic switch layout ensure intuitive operation. The external
tank displays is clearly visible even in daylight.

This supports the safety of the crew

The PANTHER cabin is crash-tested. Optional side airbags including belt tensioner increase passive safety. To optimize active safety, Rosenbauer offers additional systems. In addition to tire pressure monitoring, this includes the Birdview feature, which displays the vehicle and possible obstacles in the area from above thanks to various cameras. The PANTHER is also available with electronic stability control (ESC), which counteracts oversteer or understeer at the limit.
