Spartan Emergency Response, a subsidiary of REV Group® and leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, is proud to offer the latest innovative products and technologies – including Vector™, the first North American-style fully electric fire truck – at FDIC International (Fire Department Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis, Indiana from April 28-30, 2022.
Debuting at FDIC, Vector was developed with technology partner Emergency One Group LTD – maker of the world’s first EV fire truck. This new electric fire truck enables departments to drive and pump on electric only. It packs 316 kW of proven automotive-grade batteries to deliver the longest electric pumping duration in the industry.
Spartan Emergency Response will also showcase its 107’ Rear Mount Aerial with Smart Reach™ Multi-Stance™ technology. This features the patented Smeal™ ladder and outrigger control system, offering a 360-degree, no dead-zone functionality that can be adapted to the scene while maintaining full reach, and access to real-time data. With the Multi-Stance technology, operators can set the outriggers to any reach that the fire scene will accommodate. The Smart Reach control console also offers the next generation of electric and hydraulic aerial controls, giving users the ultimate in smooth operation.
