The employees are now able see how many trucks there are in a certain area and where they are,” said Quuppa. “It is time-consuming to find how many trucks are in each area and identify and track each truck through the production phase… The system generates real-time data that can be monitored continuously. The plant produces 700 fire trucks each year, and has around 300 in production at any time. The challenge for Morita Group is to manage the simultaneous production and flow several hundreds of customised fire trucks between manufacturing zones at the site, in Sanda City, in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, north of Osaka. These are fitted to the vehicles and the inside of the factory, respectively, to monitor location and progress as the trucks make their way between production bays. The solution, by Japanese firm Kokusai Kogyo, utilises Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags and locators from Finnish outfit Quuppa. Brand new BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires in LT 31x10.Japanese fire truck manufacturer Morita Group has deployed a Bluetooth-based IoT solution at a 57,000-square metre factory in Osaka, in Japan, to track the location and status of trucks as they are being built.Factory floor mats with Land Cruiser branding.Leaf spring suspension at all 4 corners.4wd with transfer case and high/low range.Two exterior mounted fire extinguishers.Fire lights, beacon, sirens, and PA system.Even though bodybuilder Rosenbauer has constructed the Econics cab for an added interior height of 20 cm compared to the standard low. Local structural conditions require a vehicle with a height of less than 3.20 m. Fire department pinstriping and decals (hand painted) Originally, the Econic 1835 L was ordered for fire brigade use in the Olympic Village during the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.Here are all the goodies that come with this rig, and a recap of the overall condition and known flaws below: FIRE TRUCK STUFF: Engine power increased by 20 hp to 155 hp and torque increased 10 lb⋅ft for a total of an impressive 220. The successor of the “2F” engine, it included a modified cylinder head, electronic fuel injection (in some markets), a vastly improved emissions system, and a smaller displacement (4.0 from 4.2 Liter). Highlights for this heroic rig include the highly sought-after and not available in America H55F 5-speed manual transmission and the “3F” 4.0 Liter motor. They didn't touch the paint, which we kind of like-there's just something about that old school gold-leaf lettering and hand-painted pinstripes. After landing stateside, they gave it a good once over, replacing the air filter, fuel filter and giving it some brand new BFGoodrich rubber. This Land Cruiser has recently been retired from service as a firetruck in Japan, and shipped out to California to the Vans from Japan team. To achieve this, Toyota is said to test the Land Cruiser in some of the most brutal operating environments in terms of temperature, terrain and precipitation–including the Australian outback, where the Land Cruiser is immensely popular. The Land Cruiser's insane reliability and longevity have led to huge popularity, including for interesting customizations like this fire truck. 60-series Land Cruisers were also the first to have fuel injection, power windows, and automatic transmissions. To that end the 60 came from the factory with a larger cabin that featured creature comforts such as air conditioning, a rear heater and an upgraded interior. Although it had rugged off-road chops, it was considered a model more oriented for comfort than for off-road utility–Toyota had started to drift in this direction as a reaction to the emerging SUV craze. This particular model is a 6th generation Land Cruiser, known as the J60, produced from 1981 to 1990. Sadly, its run finally came to an end in North America in 2021, at least for now, as the all new Sequoia hits the market occupying roughly the same market as the TLC. Because of its popularity, it has sold well over 10 million TLCs worldwide in a variety of body styles, including convertible, cab chassis and station wagon body styles. It’s Toyota's longest running series of models, beginning production in 1951 and continuing to this day. The Toyota Land Cruiser, often called TLC for short, is an iconic series of four-wheel drive body-on-frame vehicles produced by the Japanese automaker.
