The new fire engine will be customized for the specific needs of the LAFD while meeting all of the safety standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association. The department expects to take delivery of the new engine in early 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cI am excited that we are the first Department in North America to order this cutting-edge fire engine,\u201d said LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas. \u201cThe electric fire engine is an innovative tool that will help reduce noise and harmful diesel emissions while providing a flexible tool for firefighting and rescue operations from a technologically advanced platform. We are looking forward to evaluating it in a real-world environment once it hits the streets of Hollywood next year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/06Sb_GY9ywQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><center><\/center><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The pre-series engine based on the CFT will have two batteries with a charge capacity of 100-kilowatt hours. This enables fully electric operation for roughly two hours, and an on-board diesel generator can be activated for extended operations. The LAFD will equip the station that houses the electric engine with rapid-charging technology to ensure the apparatus is always ready to respond to calls for service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-16-gray\">by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.government-fleet.com\/authors\/324937\/staff\">GF Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetforward.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.fleetforward.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>FLEET MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3995px) 100vw, 3995px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg 3995w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-1024x226.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"3995\" height=\"882\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Join to our NEWSLETTER; you\u2019ll get the latest news, articles, publications, training, conferences, events, congresses, and white papers related to Fleet Management, Mobility and Automotive IN your email fortnightly.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) will become the first fire department in North America to purchase an electric fire engine from Austrian-based manufacturer Rosenbauer.
