Panasonic’s miniature fire engine
In another unusual announcement, Panasonic had as part of its CES showcase a miniature, battery-powered prototype fire engine.
The vehicle is the result of a collaboration with electric vehicle firm Tropos Motors to create a cart-sized vehicle which can transport the same level of equipment as a full-sized fire engine but at a fraction of the cost and using far less energy.
The company also argues that the reduced size of the truck could help with emergency response because of its ability to fit into small spaces.
