We will have three ambulances on display in our booth. There is a Chief XL Type I from Granville Township, a Chief XL Type I from the City of Manassas, and a Responder from Parkview Hospital. There will also be a Chief XL Type III unit inside GM Fleet and Commercial booth #4139. You can read more about these units in our last blog post here.
This year, we’re really looking forward to trying something new as we use the tradeshow to debut footage from the industry’s first rollover ambulance crash test. The two-minute video will be displayed on large HD monitors mounted fifteen feet in the air for optimal viewing – and FDIC attendees will get the exclusive first look. For those that are not attending the show, we encourage you to register for our email newsletter here. We will be sending out a special email after FDIC that includes the crash test video. To read more about the crash test debut, check out this past blog post.
We hope to see you at FDIC 2016!
