2014 in Austria as a concept model. As of 2021, the electric trucks had been introduced in Berlin, Amsterdam and Dubai. Vice president of sales and marketing Mark Fusco said the company would start building them at its Minnesota plant in 2023. The BMW diesel engine was used only to charge the batteries. The truck was closer to the ground, making it safer and easier for firefighters to enter and exit, though a hydraulic suspension could lift the truck if that was needed. Fusco estimated the cost at $1.1 to $1.2 million but claimed savings on fuel and maintenance would make up for the extra cost in three to five years. Shareholders As of July 2011, 51% of the company belongs to the Rosenbauer BeteiligungsverwaltungsGmbH, 5% to institutional investors and the remaining 44% is free float.
