Two Industrial Design Firms Collaborate on Modular Fire Engine Design
Kudos to Brandle to incorporate real industrial designers in the process. I'm in the aviation field & I am witnessing an erosion in decades of hard won lessons in UX. The appreciation of design in the "heat of battle" is a life or death factor & engineers can be some of the worst offenders.
Interesting they don't put a single tool or kit in the front end of the vehicle. Everything is located in the back. Seems like it would be useful to have some basic tools up front if something happens to the back half of the truck. This seems like they stuck fire tools onto an existing truck design. It would be interesting to see a design from the ground up just for fire rescue.
