The Pierce Volterra features an Oshkosh parallel-hybrid drivetrain. Both travel and pumping can be powered by batteries or by the internal combustion engine. The city adopted its first light-duty electrified vehicles a decade ago. The deployment aims to improve public health and air quality, firefighter working conditions, and long-term fleet resilience.
