The Kussmaul Auto Eject system is one of the most trusted solutions for managing emergency vehicle power connections. Designed specifically for fire trucks, ambulances, and other first responder vehicles, it ensures your apparatus is always charged, operational, and deployment-ready. Here’s how it works—and why every department should consider adding it to their fleet.
Automatic Shore Power Connection
When an emergency vehicle returns to the fire station and parks, the Kussmaul Auto Eject automatically engages. It connects the apparatus to shore power or a charging station, keeping vehicle batteries fully charged and electronics powered at all times.
Safe, Hands-Free Disconnection
As soon as the vehicle is signaled to depart, the Auto Eject disengages swiftly and safely. This prevents accidents caused by manual disconnection, while ensuring the fire truck or ambulance leaves with a fully charged battery system.
Integrated Safety Mechanisms
The Auto Eject includes built-in voltage regulation and protective features that prevent power surges, arcing, or damage to onboard electronics. This reliable power management system gives departments confidence that their vehicles are mission-ready.
Time Savings for Firefighters & EMS Crews
By automating the power connection process, the system saves precious seconds during response times—critical when every moment counts.
Battery Health & Longevity
Maintaining full battery charge extends the lifespan of your vehicle’s PPEV batteries and ensures dependable performance during emergencies.
Enhanced Firefighter Safety
With features like dynamic disconnect, the Auto Eject minimizes arcing and electrical hazards, providing safer operation and protecting both personnel and equipment.
The Auto Eject system has become an industry standard for fire apparatus electrical systems, trusted by career and volunteer departments alike. Its proven reliability and NFPA-compliant design make it one of the most valuable upgrades a station can invest in.
