JHB Group is getting support for its new Overland Response Trailer series from industry leaders, including Michelin Tires, Tecniq, Peplink, sPOD, Overland Vehicle Systems, Hypha, and GoPower. "The response from the industry has been overwhelming. The support from these industry leaders has really helped shape the Badger into one of the most versatile and rugged emergency response vehicles ever built," said JHB Group CEO Chris Gantz. "The Badger has components and design elements that have never been tried before, and the collaboration is amazing," Gantz added.

Gantz noted that the new Overland Response Trailer was named after the badger because the company wanted a name that represented something small in size but fiercely brave.

The Badger Overland Response Trailer will be released on August 16, at Fire Rescue International (FRI) in Kansas City, MO. Industry professionals, stakeholders, and public safety enthusiasts are welcome to come check out the Badger firsthand during the conference.
