Pierce Names President of AK Specialty Vehicles Pierce Manufacturing appointed Mike Conger as president of AK Specialty Vehicles and vice president Operations and Lean for the Fire and Rescue Group. AK Specialty Vehicles was acquired by parent company Oshkosh Truck Corp. in August 2006 and is a leader in mobile medical, homeland security command and communications vehicles. Apparatus Danko Introduces Unimog Urban/Wildand Pumper
Danko Emergency Equipment of Snyder, Neb., displayed its Ultimate All-Terrain Urban Interface/Wildland Vehicle at the IAFC's Fire-Rescue International in Dallas. The unit features a Unimog 4x4 chassis for extra load capacity and excellent off-road capability. Pierce Plans to Drop Some Models Pierce is planning to phase out several of its current models over the next few months, to be replaced by the new Velocity and Impel chassis that were introduced at Fire-Rescue International. Recent Apparatus Deliveries Whenever a department writes the specifications for a new apparatus, part of the process should be to look at apparatus being delivered to other departments around the country. What are they specifying? Why did they select a particular chassis or component? How do they feel about their choices now that the apparatus are delivered? ADVERTISEMENT
