Acela Truck Company Delivers High-Water Rescue Vehicles to Texas Task Force 1

BOZEMAN, Mont., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Acela Truck Company has delivered two of its industry-leading Monterra High-Water/Flood Rescue Trucks to Texas A&M Task Force 1 (TX-TF1), bolstering the team's critical capabilities in the wake of devastating flooding in Kerr County, Texas. Texas Task Force 1 has played a leading role in the emergency response and ongoing recovery efforts following the devastating flash floods that struck Central Texas over the July 4th holiday.

To support these life-saving missions, Acela's Monterra trucks were selected for their exceptional performance in extreme conditions. Built with 47-inch tires, 23 inches of ground clearance, and the ability to ford nearly four feet of water, the vehicles are purpose-engineered for high water rescues. Each truck can transport up to 25 passengers and is outfitted with a heavy-duty liftgate, waterproof electronics, and modular storage for boats, gear, and emergency supplies.

"As flooding becomes more frequent and severe, first responders need equipment that's not only reliable, but built specifically for these types of emergencies," said David Ronsen, President of Acela Truck Company. "We're proud to support Texas Task Force 1 with vehicles that help save lives in the most demanding environments."

Representatives from TX-TF1 echoed the importance of the delivery, emphasizing that these trucks will be deployed immediately in current flood response operations and stand ready for future emergencies across the state.
