Hello Lt. Durrant,

LDV is the largest supplier of custom specialty vehicles in North America with more than 20,000 vehicles delivered since 1977. Since 1995, LDV has delivered over 170 vehicles to agencies in the state of California alone. LDV has built units for some of the nation’s most respected police departments, sheriff’s offices, fire departments, Federal agencies, utilities, insurance companies, hospital groups, and commercial clients. This experience puts LDV in a unique position to focus on continuous improvements including innovative designs, materials and technologies to improve user experience and vehicle performance.

LDV is on multiple cooperative contracts including GSA, LAMAS, BuyBoard, New Jersey State Contract & HGAC. For LDV to sell on any of these contracts we had to go through a competitive bid process to prove our pricing is very competitive and you get the best price without having to do the bid process.

Below are reasons you should consider LDV as a sole source for your next command vehicle purchase.

LDV Intel-I-Touch vehicle automation: LDV is the only manufacturer to offer a fully automated vehicle control system. All vital functions are controlled and monitored through the easy-to-navigate touch panel.
• The auto startup feature ensures the vehicle is always set up and taken down in the correct sequence, preventing possible damage to the electrical system or vehicle. • Simplified operation reduces training time for users and increases operator safety during a deployment.
• Built-in redundancy eliminates the possibility of a system failure ensuring the vehicle will always be operational.
• Built-in safety features prevent the vehicle from being started when equipment is deployed.

Flat floor slide-out rooms: LDV is the only manufacturer to offer fully automatic flat floor slide-out rooms forward and aft of the rear axles.
• The Intel-I-Touch automation system fully deploys the slides with the touch of a button. • There are no exposed tracks or wire chase eliminating possible pinch hazards. • Slides drop down to flat floor height when deployed to prevent tripping hazards.

Stair system: LDV’s exclusive cassette stair system provides safe ingress and egress to the vehicle. • Pull out self leveling stair case easily deployable by a single person. • Fold out adjustable hand rail.
• All components are attached to the vehicle eliminating the problems associated with removing and stowing parts, including loss.
• Safety ignition interlock when deployed.

LDV has also been awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification for design, fabrication, integration, upfit and retrofit of emergency response and commercial specialty vehicles.

LDV also designs and builds vehicles from the ground up to fit the end users specific needs, in the design process for Murrieta Police, we worked around many obstacles and multiple design changes to make sure all your specific equipment fits on the vehicle in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

LDV is also very proactive on the deign process when it comes to the major systems on board the vehicle.

We have already done load calculations on the power system to determine the proper generator size, quantity of power convertors and batteries specific to your vehicle needs and location/altitude it will be used in. We have also done the same calculations for the HVAC system to determine the proper size Air conditioning & heating systems.

Lastly, LDV takes great pride in a long-standing reputation for exceptional after-sales support and service.
