"We took delivery on 4 similar fire trucks and installed the CounterAct electronic rust protection systems on 2 of these. After 30 months, visual inspection of the trucks revealed that the trucks were rust free while the 2 unprotected fire trucks already had rust forming.

On the ladder truck which had undergone extensive rust repair and on which a system was fitted afterwards, there was no evidence of further rusting at the repair site despite the use of dissimilar metals (steel and aluminum) in the repair.

On the unrepaired areas of the truck there was no sign of the existing rust progressing. Although these are subjective observations I am satisfied that the CounterAct electronic rust protection systems have proven very effective under the harsh conditions in which our fire trucks and equipment operates."
