Acela Truck Company and Proliner Rescue Sign Dealer Agreement

BOZEMAN, MONTANA AND MEDFORD, NEW YORK – Acela Truck Company announced last week that it has entered into a dealer agreement with Proliner Rescue to distribute Acela’s Monterra line of extreme-duty, high water/flood rescue trucks, brush trucks, and tactical water tenders throughout the New York State Region, expanding Acela Truck Company’s growing distribution footprint and Proliner Rescue’s product offerings. 

“Proliner Rescue is thrilled to add the Acela Monterra line emergency response trucks to our product offerings,” says Billy Georgiou, President of Proliner Rescue. “With catastrophic weather events becoming commonplace across the northeastern U.S., Proliner Rescue understands the increasing demand for more purpose-built, modern and multi-use trucks. Our departments need the proper equipment to support our communities and the Acela product line does exactly that. Our team at Proliner Rescue believes the Acela Monterra to be the best solution to meet a multitude of needs. The Acela Monterra, with its 46-inch tires, all-wheel-drive, 50-inch water fording capability and central tire inflation system has proven to be the perfect solution for flood rescue response and can easily serve double-duty as wildland/brush trucks outside of flood/hurricane season.”  

“We’re honored to have Proliner Rescue representing the Monterra emergency response and disaster preparedness line of trucks, “says David Ronsen, President of Acela Truck Company, “Proliner Rescue understands the needs of our New York fire and police departments and has a reputation as one of the highest quality fire truck dealers in the U.S. By working together, an increasing number of fire departments, police departments, and offices of emergency management will be able to significantly increase their response capabilities with our high-mobility product lines.”
