Abstract
An electrified fire fighting vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis rearward of the cab, a generator, an engine coupled to the generator, a service panel having one or more export power ports, a battery pack, and a power distribution system. The power distribution system includes an inverter coupled to the generator and a power distribution unit coupled to the battery pack, the inverter, and the service panel. The power distribution system is configured to facilitate exporting power provided by the generator through the one or more export power ports of the service panel independent of a function of the battery pack and independent of an availability of charge within the battery pack.
