Just from the appearance alone, this electric 6×6 airport fire truck stands out—it looks completely different from traditional fire trucks seen on public roads, and it exudes a striking presence.
The vehicle is equipped with various lighting fixtures. In addition to the standard indicators and high/low beam lights, as an airport fire truck, it also features multiple strobe warning lights and high-brightness fog lights for visibility in heavy smoke.
At the front of the vehicle is an electric remote-controlled fire water cannon, made in the United States.
The streamlined cab is positioned ahead of the front axle, which shortens the wheelbase and enables a smaller turning radius. Moreover, the cab is almost entirely wrapped in a large windshield, providing excellent visibility in all directions, eliminating traditional truck blind spots.
Looking at the interior, the spacious cab accommodates 6 seats. Both the driver and front passenger seats are air-suspension seats. One of the most eye-catching features is the interior flooring—it uses wood grain flooring that feels almost identical to that on a luxury yacht, delivering a very high-end impression.
The vehicle’s start button is located outside the door, making it easier to start the vehicle immediately in emergencies—a practical and understandable design.
On the roof, there’s a dual-axis firearm. Reportedly, this firearm can pierce the fuselage of an aircraft, allowing the fire suppression system to deliver extinguishing agents directly into the interior in critical moments.
As a highly mobile off-road fire truck, in addition to its 6×6 drivetrain, the suspension setup is also quite unique. Unlike regular heavy trucks that typically use leaf springs, this 6×6 airport fire truck uses 6 coil springs for support.
Compared to leaf springs, coil springs offer longer suspension travel, allowing better traction and reducing power loss due to wheels lifting off the ground.
To ensure load-bearing capability, the truck uses a solid axle suspension structure. Since it primarily operates within airport grounds—where extreme terrain is rare—a front anti-roll bar is included to improve handling. The truck is capable of firefighting while driving at speeds up to 50 km/h, so good handling is essential.
It is fitted with Michelin 445/95R25 tires, which are exceptionally tall—and likely very expensive. According to information available, the X-CRANE+ tires were specially developed by Michelin for all-terrain cranes, known for their excellent handling.
The 2nd and 3rd rear axles also use shock absorbers combined with coil springs. In this section, you can see that the chassis frame of the 6×6 airport fire truck is significantly taller than that of regular trucks.
The rear axle ratio is unknown, but visible features confirm that the truck uses a pneumatic braking system, and the rear axles are also equipped with anti-roll bars.
All wheels use disc brakes. After all, chasing aircraft on runways demands braking systems that are both linear and highly stable.
The vehicle has 2 onboard DC charging ports, rated at 200A and 750V. Judging by these specs, its charging speed should be quite impressive.
The taillights are entirely composed of LED light modules. In addition to standard indicators, brake lights, and reverse lights, there are 3 strip-shaped LED light bars above—specially designed for airport-specific lighting needs.
