IMPEL BROCHURE

Overview

A fire truck designed and built for one department will not be the best configuration for another. 

It's why Pierce partnered the Velocity® chassis with the Impel chassis - to offer an excellent value with a long list of standard features and available options.

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 Impel cab provides ample room to carry up to 10 personnel comfortably or additional compartments & equipment. 
  • The forward roof design offers a cathedral ceiling feel 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.
