King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA) is first in the nation to take delivery of a hybrid electric airport fire truck, the county said in a Facebook post. The Striker Volterra from Oshkosh Airport Products complements the growing fleet of electric vehicles at KCIA.

The Striker Volterra can be used in full battery mode, with zero emissions, and no diesel exhaust fumes. This groundbreaking vehicle allows KCIA to retire its oldest diesel-only fire truck, which is now more than 30 years old.
