ROSENBAUER ELECTRIC FIRE TRUCKS
THE ROSENBAUER RTX TRUCK
Meet the future of firefighting vehicles — the Rosenbauer RTX. (And let IKON Fire provide the introduction!) IKON is excited to represent Rosenbauer electric fire trucks in Colorado and Wyoming. Moreover, we’re excited to be part of the revolution, helping bring the first electric fire truck to Colorado with Boulder Fire-Rescue’s 2023 RTX purchase. Here’s how Rosenbauer is changing the firefighting landscape …
And here's how Boulder Fire-Rescue put Colorado on the map for innovative firefighting. Read the department press release here.
ROSENBAUER ELECTRIC FIRE ENGINES
Minimal noise. Less emissions. And a BIG impact. The RTX is considered a Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV), meaning it has an all-electric drivetrain and pump with a diesel-energy backup system. This technology gives municipalities the ability to fight fires while safeguarding air quality and reducing climate-warming emissions.
LONG LASTING
With full power input of 150 kW, the two 66 kWh-capacity batteries can be recharged in roughly 15 minutes, while the six-cylinder 300HP clean-diesel engine and electric generator provide backup energy.
MINIMAL NOISE
With the drive motors and other equipment powered directly from the batteries, the RTX is nearly silent, which greatly reduces the noise level en route and on emergency scenes, aiding in improved communications.
EMISSION FREE
The batteries of Rosenbauer’s all-electric fire truck ensure no fuel is burned while driving, and thanks to the electric motor’s regenerative braking, brake wear and fine dust particle creation is reduced.
ECO FRIENDLY
Say goodbye to non-recyclable, fiberglass-reinforced plastic fibers in fire trucks that can be inhaled by crew members. RTX’s advanced plastics ensure are a sustainable, forward-thinking fire truck design.

MORE THAN JUST AN ELECTRIC FIRE TRUCK
Yes, the RTX is electric. But that’s not it’s only revolutionary quality. The electric drive is just the starting point of a long series of unique design features.
MANUEVERABILITY
This all-wheel drive electric fire truck features an impressive 47.5’ turning radius, while optional rear-axle steering provides “crab steering” to further position the apparatus into confined spaces. Plus, the Rosenbauer RTX is only 92.5” side, ideal for narrow streets.
interior design
The RTX's driveshaft-free vehicle allows for a lower entry cab height of 10 inches (in operation mode), as well as an open cockpit design/crew cabin, featuring rotatable driver/officer seats and an oval seating arrangement for improved communication during transport.
WELL-EQUIPPED
IKON Fire can help you navigate Rosenbauer’s many configuration options. Spec with a 500- to 750-gal. water tank, as well as a 20- to 30-gal. foam tank and roof/bumper turrets. The pump can operate off the battery-powered electric motor or the diesel-powered backup system.
