E-One (formerly Emergency One) is a fire apparatus manufacturer located in Ocala, Florida. One of the largest fire apparatus manufacturers in the world, E-One trucks can be found in many countries, with over 25,000 units in service globally.
History[]
Formed in 1974 by retired playground equipment manufacturer Robert Wormser, Emergency One grew quickly and became the largest fire apparatus builder in the United States by the mid-1980s. The company pioneered the use of modular bodies built from extruded aluminum components, enabling it to build in advance and speed up production time considerably. It built a new 75,000 square foot plant in Ocala to meet production needs in 1978. A new line of aerial devices was launched in 1981 - the company had built earlier aerial-equipped apparatus using ladder assemblies purchased from an outside supplier. The Hurricane custom chassis was introduced in 1984, leading to a full line of custom trucks.
Corporately, in 1979, Emergency One was acquired by the Federal Signal Corporation. The chassis business was spun off into a separate entity called Federal Motors in 1985, and Emergency One officially changed its name to E-One in 1988. From the 1980s to the 1990s, E-One also manufactured a line of ambulances.
In the late 1980s, E-One began to acquire other apparatus manufacturers. In 1989, it purchased Florida-based American Eagle. In late 1991, E-One entered the Canadian market in force with its purchase of Superior Emergency Vehicles. In 1998, Saulsbury Fire and Rescue Corporation of Preble, NY was added to the E-One family. The three plants purchased were closed in 1992, 2006 and 2004, respectively.
In 2008, E-One was purchased by AIP in a carve out from Federal Signal. It was assigned to AIP's REV Group portfolio. AIP is a private equity firm distinctively focused on buying and improving industrial businesses with operations in the United States or Canada. The REV Group portfolio is a leading diversified manufacturer of specialty vehicles to North America, as well as export markets.
In the early 2020s, E-One introduced "AFT" (America's Fire Truck) as a front fascia styling for the Spartan FC-94 chassis. In 2022, E-One introduced the Vector, touted as the first fully-electric, North American-style fire truck.
In 2024, E-One celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Facilities[]
E-One builds a full line of trucks from plants in Ocala, FL and Hamburg, NY. The Hamburg facility builds all stainless steel pumpers, rescues, and tankers. All other products are manufactured in Ocala.
