ARFF order and delivery timeline
Groupe ADP has ordered a fourth Oshkosh Striker Volterra 6×6 Electric Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle for Paris Le Bourget Airport.
Oshkosh Airport Products announced the order, which follows a public procurement procedure that led to the initial purchase of three Striker Volterra Electric ARFF vehicles announced in 2024.
The latest purchase represents the airport’s first repeat Striker order.
The first three vehicles were delivered in early December 2025.
Vehicle configuration and operating profile
Oshkosh Airport Products described Paris Le Bourget Airport as Europe’s largest executive and business aviation airport, located immediately north of Paris.
The airport’s operating environment requires ARFF vehicles capable of responding across a dense urban setting and supporting a range of operational scenarios.
The Striker Volterra fleet uses an Oshkosh electric powertrain paired with an electro mechanical infinitely variable transmission.
This configuration enables zero emissions operation during station entry, standby periods and low speed movement.
Marcus Laan, Manager of Business Development, Oshkosh Airport Products, said: “These vehicles support operational needs across the airfield while aligning with modern sustainability goals.
“We look forward to continuing this collaboration as the airport strengthens its emergency response resources.”
Equipment and performance features
Oshkosh Airport Products stated that all four vehicles were configured to match one another in order to simplify operator training and support long term fleet management.
The vehicles include bus style stack doors for compartment access, a camera based mirror system designed to improve visibility and an extensive lighting package for scene illumination.
Three vehicles are equipped with a roof turret.
The fourth vehicle includes a Snozzle High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET).
Performance specifications include a low attack bumper turret and roof turret with flow rates up to 79 litres per second.
The vehicles also include TAK 4 Independent Suspension, a 10,500 litre water tank and an 800 litre foam tank.
Each unit is fitted with a 7,570 litres per minute water pump and the Oshkosh Eco EFP Foam System.
