Smeal debuted two new chassis, along with their PUC-style design, which is dubbed the CORE. It uses a traditional T-case Waterous pump with modified suction tubes to allow for lower connections. It has an all-electronic pump panel on a RAM mount that swings out for use, and uses both push-button and touch-screen technology. This particular model had one "pump panel" on the engineers compartments as well as one in the officer's side rear most compartment.
This chassis, which is manufactured for Smeal by the Ferrara folks, is dubbed the S450, denoting highest HP motor that the cab and chassis is designed for. It's a 96" cab.
