Oshkosh - Model Pierce Volterra -Electric Pumper Vehicle
The Volterra Platform of Electric Vehicles was designed through close collaboration with our fire department partners to provide all the safety, functionality and performance needed by first responders while also helping protect the planet we all call home.
The Pierce Volterra Pumper, placed with the City of Madison Fire Department in Wisconsin, is the first electric fire truck in service in North America. The battery electric fire truck has a patented parallel-electric drivetrain with an electro-mechanical infinitely variable transmission allowing for zero-emission operation when powered by the integrated onboard batteries. It can be coupled to the internal combustion engine for continuous power to the pumping or drive systems and is equipped with a battery pack that recharges using on-site recharging infrastructure.
