When the Clinton Township (OH) Fire Department chief approached Sutphen with a unique request for the department’s new apparatus, the manufacturer reached out to Kussmaul to help design a system that would fit the requirements. The customized Freedom eGen system enables power to be provided to critical components even when the engine is not running. Solar panels installed on the cab roof allow for replenished charge while the vehicle is on scene.

The new fire apparatus is built on a Kenworth cab and chassis and carries 3,500 gallons of water.
