Bozeman, Montana –Acela Truck Company recently announced that it has expanded its line of Monterra™ high-mobility response apparatus to include wildland and urban interface fire trucks.
With 47-inch tires, 23 inches of ground clearance, all-wheel-drive, central tire inflation systems (CTIS) and impressive payloads, Acela’s specialized wildland truck variants are capable of operating in terrain simply not accessible to any other wheeled vehicles on the market. Additionally, highway speeds of 74 MPH make them perfectly suited for long-distance or mutual aid response.
Acela’s wildland and urban interface offerings will include 4×4 and 6×6 engines and 6×6 tactical water tenders. All apparatus can be procured directly through Acela, multiple government procurement schedules or one of its growing number of dealers or fire truck manufacturer representatives.
“生意扩大到消防市场一直188金博网网址多少been a priority for Acela. Last year we launched our lines of specialized high water/flood rescue trucks and they’ve been our fastest growing product line since. Continuing to expand our emergency response offerings was a very natural progression,” said Acela Truck Company President, David Ronsen, a retired wildland firefighter. “I know first-hand how frustrating it is for firefighters to be faced with the challenges of lack of access into mountainous, muddy, sandy and other extreme terrains”, says Ronsen, “our Monterra line of fire trucks provide access never before achievable with wheeled vehicles. With onboard central tire inflation system the Monterra’s performance mimics that of tracked vehicles….it’s really astonishing”
弗吉尼亚州贝德福德县的Boonsboro志愿者消防和救援部最近采用了Acela的最新Wildland Fire产品，这是6×6 1000加仑的4型4型CAFS发动机。“我们一直在寻找一辆具有传统消防车的所有功能的卡车，该卡车还可以提供极端的越野能力，而无需修改OEM悬架。我们位于山上，因此访问和移动性是我们的关键特征。” BVFR消防局长Lewis Lichford说。“在运送蒙特拉刷卡车后，我们知道我们做出了与Acela一起做出的正确选择。我们可以使用这辆不可阻挡的卡车为我们的社区提供卓越的服务，不仅在野外火灾中，而且还可以使用高/低角度的遥控救援，水救援和自然灾害。”
The Acela Monterra line of trucks were originally designed for the U.S. Army and are considered to be the most capable wheeled vehicles available in North America. In addition to wildland fire trucks, Acela produces high water/flood rescue trucks which can be used for virtually any disaster response such as tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, mudslides and earthquakes, easily traveling over or through large debris,, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) support vehicles, cargo haulers and SAR/SWAT team troop carriers, in rural and urban environments. Monterras were specifically designed to replace obsolete and unsafe military “deuce and a half” and “five ton” trucks and come standard with full parts and service support backed by a bumper to bumper parts and labor warranty.
