Abstract
A response vehicle includes an engine, a transmission coupled to the engine, a pumping system operatively engaged with the transmission and thereby configured to at least selectively receive mechanical energy generated by the engine via the transmission, and a central controller communicably coupled to the engine, transmission, and pumping system. The pumping system has an input configured to interface with a water source and receive an inlet flow of water. The central controller is configured to receive an indication regarding the pressure of the water at the input of the pumping system, and transmit a control signal to the transmission to change an effective gear ratio of the transmission while the transmission is operably coupled to the pumping system based on the received indication regarding the pressure of the water at the input of the pumping system.
