Several market players are conducting prototype tests of electric fire trucks for their potential commercialization.
 

One of the major industry challenges impacting the fire truck market revenue is the high cost of these trucks. Fire trucks are manufactured with high-quality components and raw materials to offer high durability in harsh operating conditions.
