Marion was the first to build all-aluminum emergency vehicles, starting back in 1964. Our experience is evident in a complete line of Combination Rescues, renowned for their quality, incredible durablity and long, trouble free service life.  In fact, as a result of our experience, and reputation, one of the most respected chassis manufacturers in the industry turns to Marion to build their extruded aluminum cabs.



Hard Working Interiors
A rescue vehicle has got to be as rugged on the inside as it is on the outside.  So our interior walls are lined with seamless one-piece Kemlite panels - tough, easy to clean and USDA approved.  Interior cabinets are sturdy aluminum, not wood or Formica that can be easily scratched. 

The walkway floor is .125" aluminum treadplate over .75" marine grade plywood with an aluminum subpan under the plywood for rigidity.  The floor is fully welded and panned up 4", meeting the side walls in an overlapped watershed design to allow the walkway to be easily cleaned and hosed out.  Inside and out, there's nothing like a Marion.

Multiplex Wiring is Standard 

Every Marion vehicle features state of the art multiplexing.  A software-driven digital network controls the 12 volt electrical system, providing greater flexibility and reliability.  Troubleshooting is quick and easy, and an optional modem enables Marion engineers to analyze, diagnose and reconfigure vehicle electronics over the telephone.
