Electric Fire Trucks Gain Traction but Lag Behind Other Fleet Vehicles
Electric fire trucks are gradually being adopted by fire departments worldwide, though they remain a rarity compared to electric buses, garbage trucks, and drayage fleets. These vehicles are operational in various settings, including airports and municipal services, but their adoption is hindered by high costs, customization needs, and the slow turnover of fire apparatus. The technology is ahead of the market, with electric fire trucks being more visible due to their novelty rather than their numbers.
