I like the spec of these better than US van ambulances I’m used to working out of. Space it utilized much better and there’s a ton more room for patient care. Well done!
The US style ambulances seem to have wooden panels on the inside of the rear doors (from what I have saw on TV) and others seemed to have leather inside which I would have thought wasn't really the best in terms of clinical hygiene. The European ambulances seem to be more practical with better attention to detail.
@@neilburns8869 it’s more or less like a vinyl not leather. Same material that the seats are made of. But usually it covers a panel that goes over the cutouts on things like doors. Problem is we use an odd cookie cutter design that isn’t very ergonomically for patient care
@@neilburns8869I know I am a bit late commenting on this but you probably have seen much older units. Modern ambulances while some do use MDF its not wood paneling its just a substraight that is used for non-essiential parts. However most use moulded plastic and aluminum these days. As for the upholstery, its not leather its vynil, which is done as its easier to clean. There really isn't much of an issue with ambulances in the U.S as far as attention to detail, the main issue is with type 2s in particular is the people who order the units spec them based on what they had before, mainly due to a mix of cost cutting and agency officials who never have been in an ambulance in 30 years still thinking what they knew back then is what is applicable today. The only real difference I have seen from the UK counterparts is in the U.K its a lot more modular, and setup with a bit less focus on built-ins which idk if that's better other than that there really isn't much that is dissimilar to the U.S. Well aside from the fact that most manufactures in the U.S pre-build the cabinets out of the ambulance but that's not really that drastic of a quality difference, I will say I like the way the cot is placed in those ambulances better. Especially in type 2s (what is built in the video) the U.S ones typically have full depth cabinets across the drivers side of the vehicle, which makes space inside really cramed, I like how the ambulance they are making here doesn't put full depth cabinets there and makes a niche for the cot, which widens the floorplan a bit. Thats just me however.
not cost effective for the manufacturers to do it due to the small amount of vehicles involved. if every van that came off the line was to be an ambulance then yes
The manufacturer will make a select number of high-demand variants of the basic model but an ambulance is both complex and low-demand in terms of the manufacturer's output. It would cost a small fortune to dedicate staff and assembly lines to the production of a small number of ambulance vans rather than use a specialist conversion company to do the job. The same logic applies to camper vans and any other specialist vehicle: buy the basic model and convert as required.
problem is at least here in the united states where it’s more or less custom specd to company needs with the amount of services being individual municipalities or private services, they wouldn’t need everyone’s needs accordingly. not to mention auto manufacturers aren’t in the same business and don’t understand the same logistics and specialist touch it takes to fully equip an emergency vehicle. plus vehicle upfitting provides more jobs and specialty care when they need to be serviced. even if it made things cheaper you certainly wouldn’t be getting even close to the same product.
Not at all. Outfitters like this have more variations than can be conceived so it would be retrofitting regardless of who makes the ambulance. Its better if they do it anyway as they can then control the process to ensure it fits what they need and is up to their quality.
not all. different companies have different methods to building an ambulance. AEV does it differently than life line who does it different than braun/demers, etc. also depends on department specific needs and specifications on cabinetry configurations, where duct work and wiring, etc goes to. that all comes into play. every US ambulance manufacturer is utilizing the same capsules and cookie cutter designs. a ton of custom work
What a great job that is they are doing for such an emergency vehicle to help so many people and it's surprising what you see how it is done with what and how
The suspension has any modifications ? Because is very rough or hard on this type of vans. In Romania we have some Citroen Jumper ambulances and it's a nightmare for the patient or the paramedic in the back, because of the suspension of the van which is very hard and it jumps or feel any bump of the road.
Out of curiosity, I want to start a busines in secure Transport Ambulance, any idea how much it cost in UK to convert a VAN or can I even do it outside UK for cutting cost
Really need to come and see how our Sprinter ambulances are laid out in Australia. Probably the best layout for paramedics of any ambulance. Cardiac monitor, a work tray, and drawers and cabinets all in easy reach without having to get out of your seat. And yet not feel too cramped. How responsive are these Ducatos? Surely no slower than the V6 319 Speinters?

Many parts of England and Wales seem to use the Fiats. Whilst others are like Scotland and prefer to use the Mercedes Benz Sprinters. Although I have also saw New style Ford Transits, Volkswagen Crafters, Peugeot Boxers, MANs, Vauxhall Movanos and Renault Masters being used by Ambulance service providers around the UK.
I have a question about the electric system, could someone explain it for me :( Some feature in the car use the 240V/110V input source. How can the car supply enough energy for that kind machine?
There is an auxiliary battery in the cabs footwell that supplies an alternative power source, and the majority of the equipment comes with high capacity batteries that only trickle charger from the vehicle. As well as this all ambulances have a runlock function to keep the power continuously on during running periods, and they have shoreline chargers at each station for off duty charging
@@forza223bowe5 pisses me off a lot to see manufacturers not using LEDs despite them being both more energy efficient and more reliable, also they're probably not even that expensive anymore
William White cloud then you really are incredibly dumb. This is a) an old post b) it shows the standard build process THEN. It has been speeded up NOW in response to the covid outbreak. Do you understand how stupid your original post was now? Stand by it if you want. Prick.
Nothing wrong with peugeot vans .. if you done proper research you would see there is both a peugeot and citroen van in the top ten most reliable in production!
To be fair the Sprinters and Crafters are wayyyyyy more reliable than the Ducato/Peugeot Boxer, however the Ducato/Boxer is way cheaper, hence why they picked it.
@@forza223bowe5 debatable, I personally like the look of the new Crafters a lot better, new Sprinter is also pretty good. The Ducato doesn't look bad, but trust me I've been in one (not an ambulance, but same van) and they just feel a whole lot more plasticky and not as well-built as sprinters, for reliability I can't say, because it was a rental and only had 20000km

In the u.s. companies use a slide in capsule for van conversions. Cuts assembly time way down
