The Chicago Fire Department has placed one of the largest emergency apparatus orders in North America, selecting E-ONE and Wheeled Coach to supply 120 new vehicles in a deal valued at more than $100 million.
The order, placed through Fire Service, Inc., includes 42 E-ONE pumpers, 38 E-ONE aerial ladder trucks and 40 Wheeled Coach ambulances.
The investment is intended to support firefighter safety, fleet modernisation and reliable emergency response across the city.
“We are honored to partner with the Chicago Fire Department and Fire Service, Inc. on this landmark order,” said Mike Virnig, president of Terex Specialty Vehicles. “Providing 120 custom apparatus underscores our shared commitment to innovation, safety and reliability — ensuring Chicago’s firefighters and paramedics have the tools they need to protect their communities.”
E-ONE and Wheeled Coach are both part of the Terex Specialty Vehicles segment. The new apparatus will be designed for durability, advanced safety systems and improved operational performance across fire suppression, rescue and emergency medical response.
“Fire Service, Inc. is proud to support the Chicago Fire Department in this significant investment in public safety,” said Shawn Junker, president of Fire Service, Inc. “These vehicles are built to meet the demands of one of the busiest departments in the nation, with an emphasis on dependability and performance.”
