Notable Growth in Fire & Emergency Segment
The company experienced significant sales growth in its fire & emergency segment, primarily driven by higher prices and increased shipments of fire apparatus and ambulance units. This successful performance demonstrates REV Group’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the emergency services industry.
Commercial Segment Shows Promise
REV Group also achieved growth in its commercial segment through higher prices and shipments of school buses. This success highlights the company’s ability to adapt and deliver high-quality products to support the transportation needs of businesses and educational institutions.
