XCharge North America Powers the World's First All-Electric Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Vehicle at Dallas Love Field Airport

Key Terms

aircraft rescue and firefighting (arff) technical

Specialized emergency services at airports that handle aircraft fires, rescues, fuel spills and other incidents involving airplanes; they combine trained firefighters, rescue crews, vehicles, and foam or other extinguishing agents to protect passengers, crew and airport assets. Investors care because ARFF affects regulatory compliance, operational safety, insurance, and capital spending at airports and airlines—similar to a fire department that keeps a factory running and limits liability and downtime.

liquid-cooled cables technical

Liquid-cooled cables are electrical conductors that carry a circulating coolant through or alongside the cable to remove heat generated by high currents, similar to how a car radiator or refrigerated pipe keeps things from overheating. They matter to investors because better thermal control can increase power capacity, improve efficiency and reliability, reduce downtime and space needs, and affect capital and operating costs for data centers, grids, and high-power industrial applications.

KYLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- XCharge North America ("XCharge NA"), the North American subsidiary of XCHG Limited (NASDAQ: XCH) and provider of high-power EV charging and battery-integrated solutions designed to strengthen the North American electrical grid, today announced its role as the charging infrastructure provider behind a historic public safety initiative at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL). Partnering with Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR), XCharge NA has deployed its ultra-fast C7 charging unit to power the airport's Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Electric, the world's first fully electric Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle.

XCharge NA's C7AM unit delivers 400 kW of output through advanced liquid-cooled cables, engineered to support the long-duration, high-speed charging cycles the Panther needs to stay mission-ready to protect DAL’s almost 18 million passengers annually. The relationship between Dallas Fire-Rescue and XCharge NA grew out of DFR's rigorous operational standards for adopting heavy-duty electric apparatus. Dallas Fire-Rescue's existing fleet was built by Rosenbauer, and when Rosenbauer sought forward-thinking departments to help pioneer the Panther Electric, DFR saw an opportunity to help shape what has become the most advanced ARFF rig in the world, provided the charging infrastructure could meet the same standard.

“Dallas Fire-Rescue has always embraced innovation that enhances our ability to serve the community to our highest ability,” said Chief of Dallas Fire-Rescue, Justin Ball. “XCharge has provided a charging solution that not only supports our efforts to introduce the next generation of airport firefighting technology, but also ensures we are prepared to respond quickly and safely when duty calls.”

"We are honored to be selected as the trusted charging partner for this innovative project," said Aatish Patel, Co-Founder and President of XCharge North America. “Transitioning frontline emergency response vehicles to electric significantly mitigates the logistical and environmental hazards inherent to liquid fuel on tarmacs, and creates a safer environment for both ground operations and aircraft. We look forward to continuing to set new standards for the industry alongside Dallas Fire-Rescue.”
