Velocity® | Custom Chassis | Pierce Mfg

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.
