Скачать или смотреть Why U.S. Firetrucks Look Old?🤔

American fire trucks look like they’re stuck in the 1980s but that’s not an accident. In this video, we break down why their boxy, “old-school” design actually makes sense.
Unlike many countries that prioritize sleek, modern aesthetics, U.S. fire departments focus on durability, reliability, and real-world performance. Fancy curved panels may look good, but they crack easily and are harder to repair. Flat, simple metal panels are tougher, cheaper to fix, and built to handle serious abuse.
Even though they look outdated on the outside, most American fire trucks are packed with modern technology inside from advanced pump systems to digital controls and thermal imaging equipment.
Because American cities and highways are much larger and more spread out, these trucks are designed to carry massive water tanks, extra hoses, long ladders, and tons of rescue gear. That means function always comes before appearance.
Most U.S. fire trucks are custom-built for each department, and redesigning them just to “look modern” would add huge costs without improving their performance. That’s why many of these trucks stay in service for decades even though each one can cost up to $1.5 million.
So next time you think they look old, remember: they’re built to work, not to impress.
