India-born company delivers 3,000th fire truck design for US market
Amid the complexity of designing US fire trucks that increases manifold because each US state has a unique fire code, global professional services company Vee Technologies' engineering business has rolled out the design of its 3,000th fire truck this month, its was announced on Thursday.
The Bengaluru and Atlanta-headquartered firm forayed into the challenging area of designing fire trucks for the US market a decade ago.
The complexity of designing US fire trucks increases owing to the variety of materials used in the construction of townhouses, residential and commercial complexes —- many of them housed in skyscrapers.
The design process must address varying height requirements and operational tasks, including transporting firefighters to fire sites — often several hundred feet high — pumping water or fire-suppressant materials and rescuing those trapped in the inferno, said the company in a statement.
The firm provides specialised engineering design services focused on delivering reliability and speed of response in emergency situations.
The company will be showcasing its capabilities at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) International until April 25, 2026, at the Indiana Convention Centre and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The engineers are adept at creating state code–specific designs for manufacturing fire apparatus that require precision, speed and the ability to adapt to evolving standards.
To achieve this, the engineering team leverages vast amounts of data to develop and optimise detailed, code-compliant designs for fire apparatus that meet global safety norms.
According to latest industry estimates, the $63 billion engineering R& D segment of Indian IT firms contribute over one-fifth of India’s over $300 billion IT and BPM export revenues, and is the second-largest segment after IT services exports.
This segment focuses on product engineering, embedded systems, and digital manufacturing. Growth is driven by software-defined products, ER&D outsourcing, and strong demand from the automotive, telecom, and industrial sectors globally.
