Rosenbauer presents the first L32A-XS on a fully electric series chassis at Interschutz. When it was introduced nine years ago, the standard aerial ladder with lowerable cage boom took aerial rescue operations to a new level - especially in confined spaces - and is now opening the way to the (electric) mobility of the future for fire departments.

Volvo chassis

The L32A-XS electric is built on a Volvo FE Electric chassis and powered by two electric motors with a combined output of 225 kW (continuous duty) via an automated 2-speed transmission on the rear axle (4x2). For ladder operation, an additional electric motor is installed as an electric power takeoff (ePTO), which provides a peak power of 100 kW and continuous power of 70 kW. The entire system in the exhibition vehicle is supplied with energy by three lithium-ion rechargeable batteries with a usable capacity of 66 kWh each (total capacity of the battery storage approx. 200 kWh). The batteries are charged with up to 150 kW direct current or up to 22 kW alternating current via a standardised CCS Combo Type 2 socket (EU standard), provided the charging infrastructure is suitable.
