Fighting fires and pollutionīrampton expects its new electric fire truck to arrive in Q4 of 2022 and to be operational by early 2023.

Earlier this year, the City of Victoria announced they were adding five electric Cheverolt Bolts to their fire prevention department as replacement vehicles for three gas-powered pick up trucks and two mid-sized SUVs. Over a dozen fire departments from British Columbia attended the Vancouver demo, but it is unclear which, if any, made an order at that time. “Brampton is a world class city, and we are proud to join others who are working to increase resilience to climate change and lower emissions while keeping our communities safe.” I congratulate Brampton Fire and Emergency Services on their effort to secure Ontario’s first fully electric fire truck, said Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton. “At the City of Brampton, we are working to build an increasingly sustainable community in everything that we do as a Green City. Austria-based Rosenbauer first previewed a prototype of the vehicle in Vancouver, Canada in January, 2020 as part of a North American tour. The roughly $1.6 million vehicle produces zero emissions both during travel and while on site. The Rosenbauer RT is the market’s first fully electric fire truck capable of meeting current firefighting standards. In a unanimous decision, city council approved the decision to purchase a Rosenbauer RT to replace a front-line pumper. The City of Brampton announced on Wednesday that it will become the first municipality in Ontario to deploy an electric fire truck. The zero-emission Rosenbauer RT truck will replace a gas-powered fire engine by early 2023, reducing carcinogens at the scene of incidents it attends
