Vehicles may be composed of a relatively few number of “modules” that are assembled together during a final assembly process. An example vehicle may include a body module, a first drive module coupled to a first end of the body module, and a second drive module coupled to a second end of the body module. One or both of the drive modules may include a pair of wheels, a battery, an electric drive motor, and/or a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. One or both of the drive modules may also include a crash structure to absorb impacts. If a component of a drive module fails or is damaged, the drive module can be quickly and easily replaced with a new drive module, minimizing vehicle down time.

A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and a ladder assembly. The body assembly defines a recess that includes a plurality of angled portions. The plurality of angled portions extend laterally outward at a downward angle away from the longitudinal axis. The ladder assembly has a proximal end disposed within the recess. The plurality of angled portions at least partially facilitate the ladder assembly in traveling through at least one of a sweep angle range or a depression angle range.

A stabilizer leg control system (2) for controlling at least one stabilizer leg (4) arranged to support the stability of a vehicle (6), the control system comprises: a control unit (8) configured to control the operation of said at least one stabilizer leg (4), a user interface unit (10) comprising a user interface (12) configured to receive user input to control various functions of the vehicle, including to control the operation of said at least one stabilizer leg (4) of said vehicle, and to establish bidirectional communication to said control unit by a communication signal (14), and a receiver unit (16), a transmission unit (18) structured to be mounted at, or in the vicinity of, each of said at least one stabilizer leg (4), wherein said transmission unit (18) is configured to transmit a transmission unit signal (20).
