OCALA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (NYSE: REVG), a $2.3 billion manufacturer of industry-leading
specialty vehicle brands, is proud to announce the new AXIS™ Smart Truck
Technology, a secure revolutionary system that is engineered
specifically for the fire service. This intelligent truck platform is
for all E-ONE, Ferrara, and KME branded vehicles.
With the AXIS™ Smart Truck Technology, fire departments can continuously
and remotely monitor the health or condition of their apparatus, which
vastly improves in-service utilization through real-time awareness and a
reduction in unscheduled repairs.
This new technology is a significant step beyond conventional fleet
management systems because it monitors the status of not only the
chassis, but also the critical multiplexing systems and relevant water
flow components on the apparatus. Additionally, it enables superior
electronics troubleshooting and support through real-time notifications,
run-log recording, remote diagnostics and secure over-the-air device
updates.
The AXIS™ Smart Truck Technology provides:
-
Access from any computer, laptop or mobile device to vehicle
information through a web based dashboard
-
Important truck information at a glance with the ability to delve
further into specific truck data and diagnostics
-
Monitoring of up to 5 vehicle networks
-
Remote updates to multiple components and faster support from the
dealer and OEM when service is needed
-
Real time vehicle notification via text and email to mobile devices
-
An open architecture design allowing for the adoption of additional
technology partners to further improve fire ground operations and more
Having trucks in service is critical to mission success, and driving
increased operational readiness is foundational to E-ONE, Ferrara, and
KME customer support. As Jay Johnson, Vice President of Product
Management, Marketing, & After-Market at REV Group’s Fire Division
states, “This revolutionary technology sets the stage for unmatched
customer support while establishing our fire apparatus as the
unparalleled Internet of Things (IoT) hub for the future fire ground.”

partnering applications in the future.
