The Santiago Fire Department (CBS) will set a precedent in Latin America with the incorporation of an electric fire truck<\/strong> , reaffirming its commitment to innovation and sustainability. This advanced vehicle, a Rosenbauer RTX model, recently left the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium and is expected to arrive in Chile at the end of January. <\/p>\n\n

The acquisition of this pump truck is part of a larger strategy to integrate electric mobility<\/a><\/strong> into CBS operations. Equipped with lithium batteries and the ability to pump 5,600 liters of water per minute, the Rosenbauer RTX<\/a><\/strong> represents the effort to reduce carbon emissions and move towards a more sustainable fleet. In addition, its innovative design allows for adjustable suspension and improved maneuvering in emergencies. <\/p>\n\n

Public-private collaboration<\/h2>\n\n

This project has been made possible thanks to the support of key companies such as SQM Litio and Copec Voltex. SQM Litio, known for its sustainable lithium production<\/a><\/strong> , has highlighted its commitment both globally and locally, facilitating the transition towards electromobility in Chile<\/strong> . For its part, Copec Voltex has contributed with charging infrastructure and logistical support to ensure optimal vehicle performance. <\/p>\n\n

With an investment of nearly 1.5 million dollars<\/strong> , the CBS has also signed agreements with other companies such as BMW and Kia, expanding its fleet with electric vehicles<\/a><\/strong> . These initiatives underline the Fire Department’s commitment to sustainability and its commitment to a cleaner future. <\/p>\n\n
