Frazer and Harbinger Partner on Next-Generation Mobile Healthcare Products
Strategic partnership leverages Harbinger’s plug-in hybrid chassis to electrify emergencymedical response vehicles and next-generation mobile healthcare delivery units Frazer has made a strategic investment in Harbinger, reinforcing long-term alignment around the future of mobile healthcare GARDEN GROVE, Calif. / HOUSTON, Texas (March 25, 2026) – Harbinger, an American automotive and industrial manufacturer, and Frazer, a leader in mobile healthcare solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to advance the future of mobile healthcare. Frazer will leverage Harbinger’s plug-in hybrid vehicle chassis and battery technology to electrify emergency medical response vehicles and create next-generation mobile healthcare products. As part of Frazer’s long-term alignment and shared commitment to the partnership, the company has also made a strategic financial investment in Harbinger. In return, Harbinger is investing time, engineering expertise, and development resources to support Frazer’s expansion into next-generation electrified mobile healthcare platforms. “At Frazer, we believe the future of healthcare should deliver exceptional medical care directly to the patient, rather than simply transport the patient to care,” said Laura Griffin, CEO, Frazer. “This partnership with Harbinger demonstrates Frazer’s move beyond the traditional ambulance model and into a mobile healthcare solutions provider that supports new care delivery models. Hybrid-electric vehicles offer a practical first step toward electrification in emergency and medical environments, while preserving full operational readiness and clinical reliability.” The Frazer and Harbinger collaboration will include multiple next-generation mobile healthcare products: Both Harbinger and Frazer are committed to U.S. manufacturing. Harbinger designs and manufactures its electric and hybrid chassis in-house at its California headquarters, including all major vehicle systems such as the powertrain, battery system, steering, brakes, and more. This vertically integrated approach keeps costs low and provides a higher-performing, safer and more durable solution than electric vehicles built upon existing diesel and gasoline platforms. Frazer proudly produces its products in Houston, Texas. “Through this partnership, Harbinger is entering the mobile healthcare and emergency medical response market for the first time,” said John Harris, Co-Founder and CEO of Harbinger. “Our proprietary platform was designed from the ground up as a modular foundation to support a wide range of commercial and specialty applications. In mobile healthcare, redundancy, uptime, and operational flexibility are non-negotiable, and our platform is built to deliver the reliability this market requires.” Fully electric vehicles have struggled to meet the complexities of emergency medical operations due in part to charging constraints, unpredictable duty cycles, and power redundancy. Hybrid systems offer a practical and immediately deployable solution. Harbinger’s hybrid offering leverages its proven electric chassis, and pairs it with a gas-powered range extender that recharges the battery when needed. This architecture enables significantly reduced emissions during extended idling, stable and redundant power delivery for onboard medical equipment, and simplified energy management, without disrupting existing workflows and patient care. Demand for mobile healthcare is accelerating as health systems face capacity constraints, workforce shortages, and rising costs. For this reason, mobile healthcare is a critical complement to hospitals and medical care centers. Today, there are only a few thousand mobile clinics nationwide. That number is expected to triple or more by 2030 as health systems are seeking lower-cost, more scalable healthcare delivery models. This partnership addresses the clear need for purpose-built mobile healthcare platforms that can deliver reliable, lower-emissions operation without compromising mission-critical readiness. Frazer will begin engaging customers, partners, and industry stakeholders on the collaboration at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) from April 20-25, 2026. Participants will have the opportunity to check out the Harbinger hybrid-electric chassis at the Frazer booth 5074.

Behold! The Frazer/ACETECH Demo!
An Ace in the Hole To celebrate our annual pilgrimage to the Texas State EMS Conference, we proudly announce a first-of-its-kind EMS vehicle combining the legendary durability and reliability of Frazer’s generator powered design along with the technological sophistication provided by the robust ACETECH multiplexing system. This demo unit represents multiple years of research and development trying to achieve the delicate balance between features we’ve built our reputation on and features our customers have been loudly asking for in ever greater numbers. Finding The Right Partner If you are one of our longtime customers, you know Frazer doesn’t take big steps like this without performing our due diligence. In the course of responding to this call for a more modern approach, we looked at building a system in-house, and we looked at a number of available options. With ACETECH we found a single-source integrated system where we’ll know exactly who to call when a customer needs support – or less politely, which throat to choke. ACETECH has definitely acted as a partner in this process, and we’re excited to offer something we feel meets our extremely high standards for performance on your vehicles. Their technical teams have worked hand in hand with our engineering and IT departments to ensure this hybrid system gives you what you need – Frazer Generator Power to satisfy all your electrical demands, and AceTech’s fully integrated performance monitoring and control system to make it all sing. Why ACETECH? Why Now? With over 65,000 product installations worldwide, we feel ACETECH’s proven track record and success in Europe and the Middle East would translate well as they look to move into the US EMS market. Once upon a time some of us here at Frazer used to dream about a big room full of computer screens showing us where all of our vehicles were on a map and sending real time information regarding performance or service issues. The AceTech AVI system makes that dream an achievable reality. This demo represents over a year’s worth of working together with ACETECH’s engineering and technical teams to craft a solution that works with our existing features. And while we don’t expect this system will be for everyone, we are acutely aware that many of you very much want to take advantage of the feature sets this move allows to happen. Awesomely Awesome ACETECH Features! One of our favorite aspects of the ACETECH product suite centers around the ability to use their different modules either in whole or in part. This particular demo includes all but one module, the RFID asset tracking piece, but all modules can be added to a new build (and , excepting the ECU module, likely an existing vehicle – though with different complexity levels) as individual components. AVI The Advance Vehicle Informatics module (AVI) allows for driver monitoring, feedback and coaching. As Road Safety exited the market last year, AVI represents an excellent replacement and can be configured to act as a one to one replacement, all the way down to the feedback sounds. ACETECH’s AWS powered servers capture and permanently save all driver data on all vehicles equipped with AVI. What this means for fleet managers, department directors, and training personnel is a massive data set providing real time remote monitoring coupled with a robust web-based reporting interface to evaluate historical trends with vehicle systems performance, driver actions, fuel consumption and carbon emissions (with the EcoRun module), all within granular, role-based customer portal. A service using this module could even grant access to their preferred vehicle service provider to allow tailored access to vehicle information for planning and reacting to any issues that might arise. ACETECH ECU and iNCOMMAND The solid state Electronic Control Unit acts as the brains of the module functions, and in conjunction with the iNCOMMAND touch screen control computer gives medics full control of their working environment. Emergency light flash patterns, interior light controls, door open indicators, and vehicle camera monitoring are just some of the control elements available with this system. And because the iNCOMMAND touchpad is actually a Windows PC, it can even be configured to function with your MDT. Plus, once your vehicle control schema has been configured, the underlying code can be copied to the ECU of any new vehicle to have an exact match for your fleet. Used in conjunction with the AVI system, the system allows not only for remote monitoring, but also remote diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repairs. ACETECH’s presence in both the US and Europe expands available support times with the manufacturer in addition to the availability you’ve come to expect from Frazer. EcoRun The ACETECH EcoRun module works with your chassis to monitor engine usage and power needs. The module features configurable parameters to turn the truck off and on as needed. For services looking to reduce fuel consumption or to reduce carbon emissions, this sort of system gives fleet managers and directors both the control and the resulting data to show their communities real savings and impact. And while there are other solutions in the market which address the same issues, Frazer feels the integrated nature of the ACETECH product line gives both builder and end user a level of confidence that there won’t be any finger pointing should a performance issue arise. AVA Adding the AVA module provides real time, configurable voice feedback. Depending on your requirements this module can let medics know anything from the status of emergency light activation to door open status to fuel levels and beyond. In a world with an ever increasing amount of stimuli, AVA offers the security of an extra set of “eyes” to keep your crews informed and aware of potential hazards in their working evironment. RFID Tracsense Let the magic of near-field communications take one more potential blind spot off your plate. The ACETECH Tracsense module keeps tabs on any tagged asset on your vehicle. Used in conjunction with the AVA module and the iNCOMMAND control screen, you could have your vehicle

Aluminum vs. Wood
Let’s talk aluminum vs. wood. Our EMS modules are completely wood-free. Why? Because wood can have issues. Aluminum… Wood… cannot rot. It has a natural oxide coating that protects it from degradation. can rot and get mold from constant hosing down of floors. lasts a long time. It is truly green — both from an environmental standpoint and in the economic sense. Nothing says green more than reusing aluminum. We remount units 2, 3, even 4 times. can last, but is more prone to cracks, breaks, and high maintenance. is lighter than wood. So it provides more payload (sometimes 600 – 800 pounds), uses less fuel, and is easier on brakes. is heavier than aluminum. Thus… is structurally strong. Cabinets and compartments made of aluminum can take major abuse — as in wrecks. can be tough, but has little structural benefit. In wrecks, well… So, there you have it. The winner by unanimous decision is: aluminum. We hope you bookmark this page and refresh it next time you find yourself in the middle of the aluminum vs. wood debate.
