New Truck Technology 

NFPA 1901 requires apparatus ordered after January 1, 2009 to be equipped with a stability control system or pass a tilt table test. Additional advanced technologies are available on new truck specs, including seat belt tensioning and curtain and cabin airbag systems that activate during the dynamic phase of a rollover. Visit http://www.lifeguardtechnologies.com/ for an example of these systems. Also, seatbelt indicators help improve rollover survivability Visit http://www.fireresearch.com/ for an example.
