Ferrara Introduces Tough New Inferno XD Chassis

Ferrara Fire Apparatus recently unveiled its new Inferno XD chassis. The Inferno XD is the extreme-duty version of Ferrara's successful custom fire chassis and incorporates many premium features.

Company founder and CEO Chris Ferrara proclaimed, "The XD is built to withstand the extreme duty seen each and every day by our firefighters. We looked at every aspect of the chassis, focusing as much on the cab as we did on what was going to be required with the new 2007 engines. We design safety into every aspect of our fire apparatus, and that is what we used as our guidepost with the Inferno XD."

The new model features a plastic-free cab interior, easier cab entry and exit, improved cab doors, and chassis improvements to both accommodate the new 2007 diesel engines and provide better access for service technicians.

The Inferno XD is suitable for many types of fire and rescue vehicles and is approved for use with 300hp to 525hp Cummins ISC, ISL and ISM, Detroit Diesel Series 60 or Caterpillar C9 and C13 diesel engines.
