FIRE APPARATUS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is REV Group?
REV Group is an independent, publicly traded American manufacturer headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, that designs and manufactures industry-leading specialty vehicles and related aftermarket parts and services for three segments: Fire & Emergency, Commercial and Recreation.
What is REV Group’s role in the fire apparatus industry?
REV Group is proud to manufacture a range of high-quality fire and emergency vehicles in the U.S. for fire departments across North America to support first responders with the vehicles they need to protect their communities safely and effectively.
What trends are currently affecting the fire apparatus industry?
Over the past several years, the fire apparatus industry has faced challenges, including a significant increase in demand, pandemic-related disruptions, and ongoing skilled labor shortages. These factors affect the entire industry and have contributed to longer delivery timelines and increased costs.
What is REV Group doing to address these industry challenges?
REV Group is in driving solutions to these industry-wide challenges by:
1) increasing the overall production of fire and emergency vehicles by nearly 30% over the last two years to meet demand;
2) introducing new lines of semi-custom trucks that ship in under one year;
3) investing in training programs for skilled laborers; and
4) staying true to its fixed pricing model to ensure certainty for fire departments, even during times of unexpected inflation.
How do fire departments decide which fire truck to purchase?
The needs of communities across North America range widely, spanning rural and metro markets, to city and urban environments. To purchase the fire trucks that best meet the needs of the communities they serve, fire departments go through a competitive bidding process for fire truck contracts evaluated based on which fire apparatus best accommodates their market, community, physical environment and other factors. REV Group competes for these contracts as one of 55 original equipment manufacturers in North America.
How is the manufacturing process for fire trucks different from that of cars and other vehicles?
Unlike cars and other vehicles, fire trucks are often customized to accommodate the needs of fire departments’ communities, physical environment and other factors. For that reason, the fire truck manufacturing process can be labor and time intensive. To help fire departments get the vehicles they need to protect their communities safely and effectively, REV Group has introduced new lines of semi-custom trucks that ship in under one year.
What is REV Group’s ownership model?
