Rosenbauer Panther 6×6 ARFFV

Caterpillar C15 · 550 hp → 725 hp

This historic project demonstrates how STEINBAUER engineering can be applied to specialist heavy-duty vehicles where a standard catalogue solution is not sufficient. The Panther application required a dedicated electronic solution for the Caterpillar C15 engine, developed specifically for the operating demands of an aircraft rescue and fire-fighting vehicle.

The project

Engineering beyond an off-the-shelf application.

This historic project demonstrates how STEINBAUER engineering can be applied to specialist heavy-duty vehicles where a standard catalogue solution is not sufficient. The Panther application required a dedicated electronic solution for the Caterpillar C15 engine, developed specifically for the operating demands of an aircraft rescue and fire-fighting vehicle.

Key elements

What this project demonstrates

Custom engineering built around the application.

These historic projects show the engineering capability behind the standard STEINBAUER product range and the ability to develop specialist solutions where a normal catalogue application is not enough.

Why the project matteredAirport rescue vehicles require rapid response, strong acceleration and dependable heavy-duty performance.
Engineering approachA dedicated external electronic module was developed for the Caterpillar C15 rather than rewriting the original ECU.
What it demonstratesSTEINBAUER can engineer application-specific solutions for specialist vehicles outside normal passenger-car tuning.
