At the end of this video, I found myself wishing they'd gone to a fire station and showed it to the men stationed there to get some live, unscripted reactions from the people who use that kind of vehicle.

I'm a welder at E-One and helped build the rear half of the body on this truck. Fun experience and even cooler to get to see it on here.

Very few presidents of vehicle manufacturing companies know their products so well, he's obviously involved with his engineers and designers as much as with clients, vendors, investors, etc, in order to understand the market and deliver what they need and want. Great team work, congrats !

Their pump supplier needs to work on those noise levels .. it's been hidden behind all those generations of diesels for 100 yrs. Great video for a change of pace. Thanks Jay.

I swear I just love how legit of a car guy Jay truly is. This mans knows and at least mildly understands the ins and outs of every type of car in existence from gas and diesel, to steam, to electric, to even jet powered! I don't know how much he knows about hydrogen power but it wouldn't surprise me if he's hip to that too. Jay stays in the loop because he's actually interested and fascinated by automobiles old, new, and everything in between.

Hey Jay, I know you're under a lot of stress. You're a good man, take care of the love of your life.

Jay asking some great questions, this thing is a beast. The older I get the more I appreciate insane engineering.

Who's going to extinguish the EV Firetruck fire?

Imagine having a garage that you could drive this thing into and still have room for all those vintage cars all around you. I love than Jay knows enough to ask so many intelligent questions.

17:12 "Still on the first wife probably" lmfaoooooo

The pump was way louder than I expected, probably should still have ear protection. Also Jay cracked me up calling it an ash tray fire. My garden hose puts out that amount of water. Kinda wish they showed it could send more, if it can....

Ah the fire service: “Two hundred year of tradition unimpeded by progress“

The pump was WAY louder than I was expecting.

Jay should head up to Canada to interview Edison Motors. Edison is starting to produce diesel electric hybrid trucks with a similar drivetrain.

Has anyone else noticed jay leno looks much older in this video?!? 😭😭😭 We love you jay!! Hope you do this show another 10 years !

"Vector" brings back memories of the Vector supercar of the 80s and early 90s.

Always have and always will love fire engines / fire trucks ❤ thanks Jay❤

For a truck that is designed to pump water, you would think they would have shown a better example of its primary purpose.

Cool one Jay, thanks. 😎👍😎

Would've been nice to see it all lit up with the flashing lights and all. I also would've liked to see all the storage compartments, and equiptment on the thing.

Seeing Jay Leno driving a fire truck is super surreal

Wow they really got some serious engineering images. It's pretty cool

Thanks Mr. Leno, as always a great video about a different vehicle. Something I love to see from time to time.

Jay asks really really good questions, and also credit to him for finding off the wall "non-enthusiast" stuff like this to show us, it's actually really interesting!

I could take a leak further than that firehose.. didn't he say you could hardly hear the pumps when they are running? 😂😂😂😂

In the right situation, like a big city, this will work very well. Rural areas will still need diesel powered trucks, as the guest said. Different trucks for different jobs, just like the real world.

Never a dull moment on this channel, thanks Jay :-)

They are having a conversation inside a fire truck with no intercom headsets. Usually the noise is so loud they have to use them to talk to each other

Jay, you're awesome!! Period!

When they were discussing range, Jay pointed out that Fire Trucks just don't need to go very far. He said his antique Fire Truck only has 11,000 miles on it. But, with such low mileage, are exhaust emissions really an issue? Why do we need an overly complicated vehicle to fix a non problem?

Having the big guy man the garden hose.

I love how this illustrates perfectly how the hardest challenge of the engineer is making your design something people will use. Designing something to be the “perfect” thing in terms of the on-paper design doesn’t matter if no one wants to use it.

Hey Jay ... I want to see your 1955 Buick Roadmaster hotrod! Do a show on that please.

This was a great video.I'm going to have to watch it again and save it, It is amazing. How far technology has come that? An electric engine can now accomplish the things that it can Wow.🇺🇲🙂 0:08

Love it! Can't wait to get the privilege to work on one!

This is a great product! Well done!

When the batteries explode the fire department will be there to put it out.

for certain cities, it's a great thing. especially if it has the generator on it which i think they all should. low volume stations could probably do without the generator. and for the people saying what happens when the power goes out, emergency services have generators for their buildings, they don't lose power.

Thank you, Mr. Leno for another amazing car review. I love the technology🙏🏽

So cool to see, awesome Mike!

🏆Jay Leno 🏆 the king of 🍀 cars 👀✌️

"we consider our 0% to be 10%" My Phone: I wish

Way to go! This is called Innovation. Well done!

Great video. Learned much. Fascinating and great to see new ideas.

So many times you refer to a comparable vehicle in your collection. This video stands out because it presents a photograph or short video of the comparable. Wonderful to see what you are talking about.

"100% electric!" Has a diesel engine under the cab 🤣 Great video, although i don't agree with electrifying everything..

ABSOLUTELY----> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂

Fascinating. CEO does indeed know his product and Leno is top of it.

So Jay will have to fill in with his oldtimer fire truck one day. Just like the Missouri had to in Battleship.

Very nice truck. From the negative comments below, some guys didn't watch the whole video or have attention problems 😅

I drove this truck. We had it at our station in Sun Prairie WI.. It was pretty impressive. I was skeptical until I drove It.

Cool truck, Nice to have someone so knowledgeable on the truck as well. I would think also another use might be for use in disasters for mobile power with that much power on board i wonder if you can draw power from the batteries to power other things. That would be pretty cool. I did have a thought that truck would make an amazing off road RV if you took the pump off and had a cabin on back, with all that power you could camp in the middle of a field for some time using power especially with the diesel generator also.

Jay sure has some excellent questions. Then goodness they sent a man who can answer them all correctly way to go

You can Thank the Standard Oil Trust for making this technology new and exciting. Actually one hundred and ten years ago this electric vehicle technology was developed and cutting edge. The problem is making the vehicle self charging and answering the question of using batteries which are extremely expensive and hazardous or a self contained cold fusion generator that would be the best solution for this technology problem. E-One the Pride of Ocala Florida and Jay about 12 miles away from Golden Ocala where you hang out. Praying for You and Mavis that your love will always win in the end. I lost my wife 4 years in June. Great Video Thank You and God Bless 🙏

I love the diversity on the Jay Leno channel, just amazing to watch no matter what I'm doing.

Excellent video and interesting as always. Hope we see something similar on the roads in Europe. Makes sense really, you can have solar panels on the fire station roof to help charge it, Ideal for airports as well. Very classic looking machine!

That torque number is incredible.

Jay: "(US fire trucks) much larger, just like the people themselves" - fire truck guy is *not* going there, crickets :)

Great to see new and interesting videos coming from you Jay! 👏👏

Jay Thanks for all your entertaining videos Just watched yourself and Tom cotter and have to say we appreciate your time and efforts

3500ftlbs of torque is insane! Thats where the a/c motor really differentiates.

Good to know that we’re moving to a system where, if the grid is down, you’re just SOL. Brilliant

The name reminded me of the Vector W2 and I'm glad it did. Different rabbit hole.

This is a fantastic fire truck... Thank you Jay..!!!

I hadn’t realized ‘noise’ was a major complaint about fires, thanks Jay

Canada's first electric fire truck was in service less than a month before it needed repairs.

Just fascinating. Ive learned a lot

Great video Jay, love your work as always

Fireman Jay puttin out those fires.🤣

Having an onboard diesel generator to make up for no diesel engine . . . Interesting

I understand Jay has never been a firefighter, so I get it it, but the big Boston Chelsea fire in the early 1900s had responders from as far as Baltimore, but mismatched hose couplings were a major issue. Even with the National Standard thread standard, not everyone uses it. It is not a required standard.

I love how Jay is always all over the road

Bring me back to the 20th century!

This is what we need EV trucks for city use and services like firefighters, towing, garbage collection,.... Great video Jay ❤😊😊

A very interesting and informative episode.

A great explanation of fire truck operations I have not heard before!

This is fantastic, made even better by the amazing ignorance of these comments!

Electricity and water, perfect match, "match" : )

This is so cool, I would love to hear long term reviews of these in service!

😎Tank You. A little fire truck humor.😉

Makes sense for it to be electric. Most trucks just sit around for days so it can charge all the time. Most trips are short. They need ambulances to be electric as well.

Jay has forgotten more than most of us will ever know, your historical references are priceless !

Jay, you look as comfortable in that huge firetruck as you look in one of your super cars.😎

I get they can't have "regular" pressure on the hose spraying demo, but think they should have gotten to an open area and had someone handling it that knows how. It was, shall we say, "underwhelming" as is. Impressive data points from the CEO- clearly he is deep into everything about this truck.

What's the price difference?

"Imagine a 45,000 pound Tesla"... isn't that what they weigh already?

This is super cool......

11:16 same kinda thing with Air Traffic Controllers and their RADAR. The STARS system is capable of real time continuous RADAR displays but Air Traffic Controllers wanted the old RADAR sweep line. So the system was set up with a sweep that only updates the screen when the sweep passes instead of being real time.

Amazing piece of engineering!

These will be great for travelling all over California in fire season.

Thank you for making this content by the way.

Great video Jay❤

As someone who actually works in the fire service unlike a lot of these commenters, I'm excited for the future of these trucks. Electric is extremely promising from a health standpoint (no fume exposure and low noise for firefighters), maintenance (smaller low hour use diesel generators OR no engines at all depending on your configuration), and no need for storing fuel onsite any more (tons of headaches for departments from a facility standpoint). That being said, they aren't without their issues as the manufacturers work out the kinks in their processes - I believe LAFD and Vancouver Rosenbauers had tank leaking issues which had to be fixed. Of course all four of our brand new Pierce diesels that we've ordered had to be sent backs for MONTHS of work 💀 so I'm going to take those stories ('unreliable had to be sent back!') with a grain of salt and wait on some actual use reports from these departments before we can make a full determination on whether or not they are actually living up the their potential cost savings. The good news is that if use times and low charge prove to be an issue in their deployment in busy stations, they can still serve a purpose in low run stations that run 4 medical calls a day hehe. Excited for this episode for sure!

I wouldn’t call that electric pump motor quite. The high pitched whine would drive me up the wall in a hurry. I still think that fire trucks should have basic mechanical devices that will work under any circumstances, like after a hurricane or tornado, or even in a war zone. Huge respect to Jay, that guy is brilliant.

This is a solution in search of a problem.

That’s amazing! Would love to see more, it will be expensive change. But imagine, those electric cars or trucks rather, are promising.

Jay needs to get with Edison Motors and show the other technologies being developed around electric...

Now a steam powered fire truck!🧐👍

Very cool Jay!

Was it a 10-speed Eaton Fuller semi manual in earlier times? A semi tractor 6 cylinder dsl. 645HP ?
