'The Pebble' - Project Electric Back (PEB)

We don't know what vehicles will be powered by in the future, it could be diesel, petrol, hydrogen, electricity and/or something else. As such we have very little control of what the base power plant of the vehicle is.

What we do have control over is everything downstream from the vehicle power plant.

Through the development of the 8 initial RFBAQ Landcruisers, the RFBAQ / QuikCorp Innovation Platform and the RFBAQ FusionCruiser, we believe that there has been a real advancement in user-driven design and firefighter safety in light attack firefighting platforms.

In the pursuit of a less flammable and more survivable light attack we have come to a stage where the only thing that is not electrically driven from the main vehicle power unit is the firefighting motor/pump.

Developing a high flow electric pump that can Case 4, deliver through multiple lines, is simple to operate and is very quiet is the piece that has been missing in future-proofing firefighting vehicle design.

The Smart Automated Fire Equipment - Light Vehicle Module, or SAFE-LVM, is manufactured under the name Jaxian by All Industry Services and Entire Research and Development (with support from IFM).

A huge thanks to QFleet, QFES and RFSQ for supporting this project and supporting the RFBAQ to make the Pebble a reality.
