Rosenbauer’s GREEN Star™ idle reduction system uses
electronic controls to shut down the chassis engine on-scene
when the fire pump is not engaged. These electronic controls
then start the diesel driven Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) which
supports the 12 volt electrical system and provides a minimum
of 8kW of 120/240 volt power. This APU is also capable of
maintaining the chassis heating and cooling requirements. The
APU uses approximately one-fourth the fuel compared to the
chassis engine, thus saving fuel costs, lowering emissions and
extending the service intervals between oil changes and DPF
service and replacement.

The fire service is going GREEN! Our exclusive auxiliary
power unit (APU) designed specifically for use on fire
apparatus will save your department thousands of
dollars annually.*

Today's fire service is a contantly changing community
organization. We've watched the role of fire departments
take on more responsibilities from medical calls, rescues
and hazmat incidents for example. Eighty percent of
calls fire departments respond to, result in fire apparatus
needlessly idling for 10-40 minutes per call.
