The Italian Fire Brigade has taken delivery of 1,000 Jeep Avenger BEVs, the first ever all-electric vehicles to join the fleet. The new vehicles will be used for various purposes, including responding to emergencies, transporting personnel and equipment, and providing public education about fire safety.
The Jeep Avenger BEV is powered by a 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor that delivers a range of up to 400 km in the WLTP cycle. The electric vehicle is also equipped with many advanced safety features, including Selec-Terrain and Hill Descent Control.
The delivery of the Jeep Avenger BEVs is part of a larger effort by the Italian Fire Brigade to modernize its fleet and reduce its environmental impact. The brigade has also announced plans to purchase 1,000 additional electric vehicles in the coming years.
The arrival of the Jeep Avenger BEVs is a significant milestone for the Italian Fire Brigade and for the wider adoption of electric vehicles in Italy. The vehicles will help to improve the brigade's operational capabilities and reduce its environmental impact.
"The arrival of the Jeep Avenger BEVs is a major step forward for the Italian Fire Brigade," said Fire Chief Mario Draghi.
