Company Information/ARFF vehicles

Five months ago, the fourth generation of the Rosenbauer PANTHER made
its debut at the leading Interschutz fire industry fair and since
then there has been lively demand for the new model. The fastest out
of the blocks was the Changi Airport Group of Singapore, which
already captured the very first new PANTHER 6x6 in June. The Changi
Airport Group operates the hub of the same name, which has been voted
the "World's Best Airport" three times in a row and also has two
Rosenbauer rescue staircases in its vehicle fleet.

The new PANTHER for Singapore Changi Airport is equipped with an
integrated N80 pump complete with a FIXMIX 2.0 foam proportioning
system, a powder unit, an RM65 roof and an RM15 front monitor. The
truck carries a payload 12,000 l of water, 1,500 l of foam and 250 kg
of powder and is fitted with a 16.5m STINGER extinguishing arm.

Major order from India

The first large contract has come from the Airports Authority of
India (AAI). It has placed a fifty-vehicle order comprised entirely
of the new PANTHER 6x6 with 10,000 l of water, 1,300 l of foam and
250 kg of powder on board. The extinguishing technology consists of
an N80, a FIXMIX 2.0, a powder unit and an RM80 roof monitor. The
pump and the monitor have been harmonized to perfection and both
offer maximum output of 9,000 l/min. The monitor has a throw range of
up to 100 m.

The Airports Authority of India operates 125 airports across the
subcontinent including eleven major and 81 regional hubs. The fifty
PANTHERs will be delivered by the end of 2016 and then distributed by
the AII among 23 regional airports that will include Bhopal, Udaipur,
Varanasi, Raipur, Bhubaneswar or Coimbatore. With the new vehicles,
the Airports Authority has more than doubled its PANTHER fleet to
over one hundred. Most recently, the AAI put six PANTHER- S trucks
into operation and the first of the new PANTHERs was accepted at the
end of October.

Successful series

Apart from the new PANTHER, its predecessor model continues to be in
great demand. In 2016, trucks are to be supplied to the Lanzhou
Zhongchuan and Chengdu Shuangliu airports in China, as well as other
airports in South Korea, Kuwait, Mongolia and the Faroe Islands, to
name but a few. Rosenbauer is also enjoying great success with the
PANTHER in the USA. For example, during this year vehicles were
supplied to airports that include the hubs in Houston, Miami,
Dallas/Fort Worth and Fort Lauderdale and next year Los Angeles
Airport is to receive its first PANTHER.

Since the launch of the first generation in 1991, over 1,400 PANTHERs
have been sold, which means that Rosenbauer's flagship ARFF is one of
the most successful vehicles of its type of all time. Production
takes place at the group's Plant II in Leonding, Austria and the
location in Wyoming, Minnesota. Serial production of the new PANTHER
generation will commence at the beginning of the coming year.
