Wheeled Coach® and Road Rescue®, both brands of REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc., a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., and premier manufacturers of emergency vehicles for municipal and commercial EMS providers, have invested in a new paint system. The plural component system precisely controls the mixing and application of the paint products for even higher quality and consistency.
The new paint system was developed by industry leader, Graco®, and utilizes its ProMix PD2K® system, which offers 100% Positive Displacement Technology for accurate mix ratios and consistent performance. It was installed at the manufacturing facility in Winter Park, Florida, the home of Wheeled Coach and Road Rescue ambulances. The system monitors the ratio of protective coatings and paint. It also controls the application via air pressure and fluid rate regulation of the materials onto the ambulances. In addition to a more supreme final product, the benefits also include waste and hazardous materials reduction because of the precision of the system.
“The investment in the new paint system is part of a broader, ongoing program to further enhance our Orlando facilities, equipment, processes, and customer experiences”, said Erik Stoor, Vice President and General Manager, of REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc. “We are stewards of the iconic Wheeled Coach and Road Rescue brands and focused on the long-term success of our customers and dealers.”

E-ONE®, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG), announces it is building an all-electric Vector™ Rescue Decon truck for the City of Varennes Fire Safety Service in Quebec; the first Rescue truck using the first fully electric North America- style fire truck design.
This Vector™ order, which will become one of the initial EV firetrucks in operation in Canada, came from the City of Varennes. REV Fire Group introduced its EV firetruck in August 2021, which utilizes 316 kilowatts of proven automotive grade batteries, and can be customized to accommodate specialized fire ground duties such as air support and decontamination of firefighters to remove carcinogens from gear after fighting structure fires.
The Vector™ design features low battery cell placement which offers a safer, lower center of gravity for enhanced stability while operating. The crew from Varennes worked closely with the engineers at E-ONE to develop this unique mission critical apparatus to serve their community.
Key features of the Vector™ Rescue Decon truck are:
100-inch-wide Cyclone® cab with raised forward roof and rear vista
Extruded aluminum walk-thru body with full height / full depth compartments on each side
Upgraded air conditioning system with auxiliary A/C in the crew area of the cab and body
Diesel fired interior area heaters with on-demand hot water heating capabilities for
Decon
Thermal battery management system
500-amps of available 12-volt power
Range extender for emergency back-up power to stay on scene for extended duties
4-bottle DOT 6000 PSI cascade system, booster pump and 2 bottle fill station for air support
Complete Decon package and shower inside the body with changing room for personnel
Walk-through body design to cab allows for separation of duties with a dirty firefighter entering in the back door and emerging through the cab crew doors decontaminated.
“This emergency truck is one-of-a-kind,” said Varennes Mayor Martin Damphousse in a city press release. “In addition to having a self-sufficiency that guarantees reliability for the entire duration of interventions, it will meet the needs of the Fire Safety Service on three specific points: the decontamination of firefighters on site with their equipment, air refueling breathing and release during a call.”
“We are excited to partner with Varennes Fire Safety Service to help protect both their community and the environment with one of the first EV fire apparatus in Canada,” said Kent Tyler, President of REV Fire Group. “It’s our first EV Rescue truck, which demonstrates the Vector’s customization and flexibility to suit a fire department’s needs.”
1200 Degrees, an E-ONE-authorized dealer, is handling the order and delivery is expected in 2023.
