Designed and purpose built for firefighters, KME’s TOP (Total Occupant Protection) System provides rollover and collision protection systems. Blind spot detection systems are now available on KME custom chassis to create the ultimate safety system package.
ENGINEERED FOR CUSTOM
The KME Panther is available in a variety of configurations that offer plenty of space with seating for up to ten firefighters. The raised roof extends over the driver and officer, making it easier to maneuver within the cab and ergonomic controls help ensure safe and easy operation of the vehicle.
SAFE AND SPACIOUS CAB
KME provides the most spacious and ergonomic cabs in the industry with flat floors, low step heights, and taller, wider cab doors. An optimized engine tunnel offers increased leg and hip room for the front seats, while giving more floor space to the rear crew.
