Zero Emission Fire Appliance 2
Lead Participant:
EQUIPMAKE LIMITED
Abstract
The ZEPA2 project brings together Equipmake, Emergency One, London Fire Brigade, and Cenex to specify, develop and demonstrate a novel energy management system which will enable Fire Services globally to migrate to a fully battery electric fleet.
Fire Appliances are required on occasion to pump water for extended periods requiring diesel vehicles to be replenished via a fuel bowser during extended operation.
This project will develop a system to link multiple electric fire trucks, and to enable the connection of an "electric bowser" vehicle to allow continuous operation of a fully EV fire pumping appliance.
