OCALA, Fla. – E-ONE, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., will introduce the new Defender Type III Urban-Interface Pumper at FDIC International (Fire Department Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis, Indiana, April 27-29, 2023; Booth 4200.

The new E-ONE Defender Wildland Pumper is built for the most challenging situations. With the ability to pump and roll at the same time, it stands strong at the edge of communities threatened by wildfire, helping to divert fire away from people and property.

REV Fire Group’s Vector™ will return to FDIC, allowing attendees to see the first North American-style fully electric fire truck. With its 327 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of proven automotive-grade batteries, Vector delivers the longest electric pumping duration in the fire industry, accomplishing all driving and pumping tasks exclusively on electrically generated power. The design also features low battery cell placement, offering a safer, lower center of gravity for enhanced stability while operating.

In celebration of first responders and in keeping with the theme “Protecting Those Who Protect Us,” REV Fire Group will host a happy hour and live product walk-arounds from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, including live interviews with National Fire Radio.

Attendees can also expect to see a cross section of the fire apparatus that highlights E-ONE’s “Strength Through Excellence,” at Booth 4200, including two aerials, two custom pumpers and the new Defender Wildland Pumper. The trucks on display will include:
