KME’s
Predator chassis was developed by working closely
with departments across the nation to provide
safety, ergonomics, reliability, ease of
maintenance, and a wide range of options. The
Panther was designed for fire departments that want
the benefits and numerous options available with a
custom cab and chassis, but still have to deal with
budgetary constraints.

interest in standardizing their fleet as well.
