Pierce Velocity custom fire truck chassis parked outside in front of fire station.

The best idea you ever had.

VELOCITY BROCHURE

Overview

We asked firefighters to envision the ideal fire truck. Then we listened carefully. They told us about practical things that would make a truck easier to use. They identified space, storage, safety, maintenance and performance improvements. We wrote it all down and turned a team of engineers loose with one goal: Make it happen.
 
More headroom, legroom and floor space. Unobstructed visibility of the road, traffic and pedestrians. Fast service and legendary Pierce safety. In every way, Velocity advances the way firefighters prepare and perform.

Visibility & Space

  • The large, single-piece, bonded windshield & daylight windows increase visibility; the 3-blade wiper system provides better coverage of the panoramic windshield surface.

  • At 100” wide, the Velocity cab provides ample room to carry up to 10 personnel comfortably or additional compartments & equipment. 

  • The forward roof design offers a cathedral-feel ceiling with increased frontal visibility & more configurable space.

Ergonomics

  • Large exterior door handles are generously sized to fit the firefighter’s gloved hands. 

  • Wide cab doors make entry safer & exit quicker for firefighters. 

  • Gauges & switches are within easy reach of the driver without interrupting lines of sight.

Serviceability

  • 1-piece, full width, lift-up hood allows for easy maintenance & fast access to the windshield washer fluid, coolant overflow, power steering, windshield wiper motor & cab lift controls. 

  • Electrical systems, breakers, components & modules are easy to access & service on the officer’s side of cab. 

  • In-cab access for chassis fluids makes servicing easier.

Maneuverability

  • Massive 13.38” 120 psi steel frame rails for superior handling & reduced frame deflection.
