So,
If government and non profit agencies start using these trendy vehicles, who's money is going to pay for them?? <sigh>
Read the stuff they have on them, its insane.
Unequalled Rescue Capability
Powered by a Cummins Diesel and featuring seating for five, the Jeep Rescue’s primary mission is rescue capability, and its list of rescue and safety equipment is impressive:
AC electric power (10 kW) generation in the field
3-D topographical mapping software and topographical navigation system
Under- chassis, point-of-view cameras for avoiding danger in its path
Passive, infrared (thermal) cameras for search and rescue
Satellite telephone; VHF radio, digital video recorder with satellite transmission capability
Retractable 4-point harnesses for vehicle occupants
Exterior perimeter lighting
White LEV lighting for long distance visual search and reduced power use
Folding seats in rear compartment of vehicle
Remote control winch – front and back
“The Jeep Rescue is Jeep capability taken to maximum extreme and that, being Jeep, is unmatchable,†said Creed. “It is everything the Jeep brand represents – in a vehicle equipped for unequalled search and rescue service.†:roll:
