On 5 March 2025, SOF Connect presented the latest addition to the fleet of the fire and rescue service of Vasil Levski Airport - Sofia - the high-tech Rosenbauer Panther. This vehicle is the first addition to the airport's fleet in nearly 10 years and has advanced features that ensure the highest safety standards for passengers, crews and aircraft.

The Rosenbauer Panther firefighting vehicle is the latest generation, manufactured in 2025 and has the following technological advantages:

- Equipped with modern fire and rescue equipment, including a combined electrically powered cutting and drilling tool - reducing response times significantly over standard rescue tools that use hoses and hydraulic oil for propulsion. The reduced overall mass makes it more ergonomic and easy to use.

- Pump-and-Roll functionality - allows fire extinguishing agents to be supplied on the move at speeds in excess of 80 km/h.

- Powerful engine - 750 hp, meeting stringent Euro 6 environmental standards, with acceleration from 0 to 80 km/h in under 30 seconds.

- Light mast - equipped with eight 56-watt LED projectors, with the ability to concentrate or disperse the light beam depending on the needs of the specific situation.

- Durable construction - with a sturdy chassis and large tyres, the vehicle performs equally well on tarmac and rough terrain.

- Enhanced crew protection - integrated water mist system for protection from aviation fuels with temperatures above 1000°C.

- More ergonomic design - equipped with advanced electrically powered rescue tools, providing faster and more effective incident responses.
