Each community has its own unique needs. A fire truck designed and built for one department may not necessarily be the best configuration for another. So Pierce is partnering the new Velocity™ chassis with Impel™. The Impel was designed with many of the advantages and options available on Velocity, however it is powered by a medium block engine. This configuration provides a price-conscious chassis. As part of the Velocity generation of chassis, the Impel is able to provide improved cab space, enhanced visibility through a single-piece panoramic windshield and the safety and comfort of PS6® seats, but without the premium operator’s console and other features standard on Velocity. IMPEL —  Performance On Your Terms

EFFICIENCY
Impel begins with a base model design and configuration, including a medium block engine and transmission to deliver outstanding performance efficiency.

FLEXIBILITY
Departments have the option of sticking with tried and true components and systems or selecting upgraded options. Impel’s baseline model includes barrier doors, painted interior finish, a conventional console configuration, round headlight bezels, optional chrome grille or stainless steel trim band and a painted front end.
