Dozens of cities and counties sue fire truck makers over soaring costs, delivery delays

Dozens of cities and fire departments are suing major manufacturers, including REV Group Inc., Oshkosh Corporation, and Rosenbauer Group, alleging conspiracy that has suppressed the supply of fire trucks, resulting in soaring costs and years-long delivery delays. The lawsuits, filed as antitrust class action cases, claim these companies have inflated prices and controlled a significant portion of the U.S. market. These municipalities report struggling with unreliable equipment and unexpected pricing issues.
