Summary
[edit]DescriptionRosenbauer Panther Mk 8 Ultra Large Fire Vehicle (11677457644).jpg |
English: The first of an initial batch of 18 of these Rosenbauer Panther Mk 8 ULFVs entered service at Perth Airport in March 2005. As of March 2010, a total of 54 of these vehicles had been ordered by Airservices Australia. The photo above shows one of the Panthers at Avalon on 26February 2013 in high-visibility yellow-green, a departure from the traditional fire engine red colour scheme for ARFF vehicles. The following day it was put on display at the Australian International Airshow.
The basic chassis of these vehicles are built in Wyoming, Minnesota, USA by Rosenbauer Motors (RBM), which is a subsidiary of Rosenbauer International Aktiengesellschaft (RBI). Once the chassis is delivered, the superstructure, fire fighting equipment, electrical/pneumatic systems and final assembly are all built up in RBI’s Leonding plant – Leonding is just outside of Linz, Austria. The vehicles cost A$1.1 million each. These 10 m long, 30-tonne vehicles can deliver 5700 litres of foam per minute and can throw foam in excess of 80 metres from their roof-mounted monitor. These vehicles have a top speed of 120 km/h. The grey 'box' on the roof just behind the passenger side window contains floodlights on a telescopic mast to provide area lighting if necessary. Stowage for various rescue and fire-fighting equipment is provided behind the 'roller doors' on the sides of the vehicles. - Day 1 Avalon 2013 Australian International Airshow.
