Abstract

A fire fighting vehicle includes a chassis, tractive elements coupled to the chassis, a pump coupled to the chassis, a discharge fluidly coupled to the pump, an accessory module coupled to the chassis, and an electric motor coupled to the chassis, the pump, and the accessory module. The accessory module is configured to receive mechanical energy and provide at least one of electrical energy or fluid energy. The electric motor is configured to drive (a) the pump to provide fluid to the discharge such that the fluid is expelled from the discharge and (b) the accessory module to provide the at least one of electrical energy or fluid energy.
