[POV] Europe's BIGGEST Ambulance Maneuvers Through the SMALLEST Gaps
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2024
- Welcome. Today we join this Swedish team of paramedics in Stockholm. We are on route to the Karolinska University Hospital in the northern part of Stockholm. We will be driving through the busy city center. Let's see how we manage.
This team of paramedics is driving a very special ambulance. It is an 18 tons Mobile Intensive Care Unit. Measuring 10 meters long and 3.5 meters high, this emergency vehicle is equiped with the same level of technology as a standard hospital intensive care unit. The region of Stockholm has two of these M I C U's on standby for emergency response. When needed they can be on the road with a full medical team within 90 seconds.
If you’re fascinated by sirens, flashing lights, and the critical work of first responders, you’re in the right place. Our channel provides a unique perspective-literally-from the driver’s seat of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. We collect various videos from all over the world and add insightful context and commentary.

7:16 that trucker deserves the credit for not merging and waiting for the ambulance
He was already in the left lane when the ambulance arrived but he changed lanes to the right lane to let it pass.
what a legend!
It's such a small thing, but the driver of the truck at 6:48 even folded his mirror to give just a bit more space. Respect!
They folded theirs aswell :) "Han fällde in sin också" "He folded in his aswell"
The attitude of the other drivers on the road, from town cars through to semis, is fantastic. So many drivers in other countries could learn a lot from this. Congratulations to them all in Sweden.
Almost any country in europe acts like that! USA should learn from us
The speed isn't as much a factor as the smoothness of the ride. Getting to a hospital 30 seconds faster is great, but not if you hit a pothole and someone with a back injury has it worsened. Or you're changing out meds and the IV gets pulled. Speed is important for responding for medical situations - stability is important for transporting patients.
That's so true. Where I work we'll do an average of about 110-120 jobs a month per crew. Of those, about 1/3 will be a lights and sirens response. Of those 35-40 we might transport 1 under L&S to hospital. The main purpose is to ensure a smooth steady trip, without getting thrown around in the back.
@@coover65 Sharps and speed do not agree. Be safe out there.
This ambulance is so big, even the camera had to duck going under the bridge at 1:08 xD
I didn't even see that 😂. Well noticed 👍.
Me too i didn't even see that thanks for letting us know.
I'm very impressed how people try their best to make space for the ambulance. I know that in the last years the awareness about this increased a lot, but it's great that it works so well - thanks to all
It’s pretty much always been good with that in Sweden
Klarastrandsleden is a nightmare! I can't even begin to think how it is while driving that huge ambulance. Great job on all drivers.
Good to see Swedish drivers now how to respond to sirens. Well done.
Truckers are the best for real look at the red truck 6:30. He blocking the incoming traffic and making space at the same time
0:43 I never heard that double sirens in my life in Sweden! Good job and thx for listening:D
Common with fire trucks in sweden
Most emergency vehicles have electronic speakers for the sirens. Some, such as this truck, have an additional two-tone air horn you can switch on to grab more attention since it is much louder than the speakers.
Pretty sure these MICU's are build in the Netherlands. Micu's in the NL standard have their normal siren and the martin horn, so that's probably why
@@slash_me Plus, besides hearing it, the airhorns can actually be felt at a fair distance, making them more noticeable for those with impaired hearing. :)
@@Holland1994D this is a bit different to the Dutch MICU's and they are built by Groth Kaross AB in Mönsterås, Sweden.
In Sweden you don't go to the hospital, the hospital comes to you.
And with reasonable cost
if you are under 18 or 19 not sure its 100% free and if you are over 19 then its not that expensive only like 40 bucks maximum for the ride.
The fact that they're passing Pungpinan on the map is hilarious! You should all run that through Google Translate...
I just did, thanks for the laugh!
Curb?
Those lights though. I love them!
Thank you once again for another amazing video. and the hard work of paramedics. and with the help of other drivers they can move faster on our streets. 🙏🙏🙏
Stockholm is such a beautiful city!
For every idiot who is oblivious and don't make space, it's always amazing to see the 500 people who ARE doing their best to give way!
It also helped that in many situations, these POV shots can and will be forwarded to the police if you are especially bad at giving way, even when you have ample oppertunity and time to do it... So if you hinder an emergency response to an unreasonable degree, look forward to a hefty fine coming your way in the mail if your licenseplate shows up on camera!
Yeah, because driving laws are stricter, all countries should make driving licenses more expensive to obtain and strict with their driving laws
Would need to be able to identify the driver for that to happen in Sweden, since fines are personal and the owner of the car might not be the driver.
@@AlexKall It can get complicated here, as the circumstances for a fine can change, depending on the drivers status, who owns the car and so on...
For instance, during a traffic stop with the car and drivers papers in order, it's only really the driver that matters. On cameras alone, it's the owner of the identified car who gets the fine, unless the driver has borrowed the car and can be identified, in which case, both the driver AND the owner gets a fine.
If you loan out your car to others, you are personally responsible for your cars actions during that time, including insurance. Same thing with commercial vehicules: The drivers are responsible for their driving, but the company that owns the truck or car is also responsible for their drivers actions, and they usually add a zero to any company fine so if the driver gets a 1000$ fine, the fine for the company is often around 10,000$ on top of that
@@skynet0912 " On cameras alone, it's the owner of the identified car who gets the fine"
Not in Sweden, the driver must be identified and the fines are issued to the driver, not the owner.
@@AlexKall Sorry, forgot to clarify that i didn't mean i lived Sweden. I'm not sharp on the swedish laws, so you are probably right...
6:51 With every Centimetre counting the Truck Driver even folded in his Mirrors.
That 'two-tone' siren sound is used, because it cannot be confused with anything else... and when it comes to focusing/locating on such, 'short/sharp' sounds are often the first that we take note of, or become aware of. The British and Australian services used it... and it worked, in even such heavy traffic as England and Australia had - that two-tone sound was unmistakable - you knew that an ambulance or fire truck was coming.
Two-tone sirens are also very effective because of the doppler-effect, you'll immediately hear if it's approaching you or not. American style whail-sirens are much harder to distinguish for the same effect
America should use this standby s09 and martinshorn siren on ALL their emergency vehicles instead of the american wail and Q sirens
they have bright AF lightbars, they are annoying but atleast you notice them
Honestly best video ever, quite exhilarating!!
Thanks!
Very nicely edited and presented! 😊
team work makes the dream work.
👏 great job ❤️👍
I was in the Philippines with my wife in the hotel room.
After hearing sirens for at least 15 minutes, I looked outside to see if there was a fire outside.
An ambulance stood in the queue with its sirens on. I asked my wife why the cars didn't move for the Ambulance? He'll have to wait like everyone else 😤.
So if you haven't died in the traffic accident in the Philippines, you probably will on the way to the hospital🤣.
Sounds like Beijing China
good job 👍👍
People commenting about the trucker at 6:48, but why more people need to respect my fellow countryman for not stopping all traffic so the MICU got free streets ahead.
Not everyone. One white asshole sneeked out between the two trucks.
6:48 One car (Between the white and the read truck, first in line) seams to be in more hurry than the Ambulance.
I would like to see this truck from a walk around of the outside view and to see the emergency lights etc it has if possible please, another great video thanks.
th-cam.com/video/Ez_PGQQHsPQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h2wPxp61fCZAzNXR i think this video shows the same vehicle

In the United States they don't yield to emergency vehicle as good as they do in Europe They often don't care yielding and there isn't an enforcement for this. I am not going to even mention New York City where sirens are just a sound And to think that an ambulance ride in NYC it's $1350 for people that are not Insured it's a nightmare aside the fact that they may not even get alive to the hospital.
Good job guys, this would never happen here inn the UK, even on motorways, as for the smaller roads, yes they might pull over but will do it wit another vehicle next to them on the other side, no thought.
That ambo must have some fantastic forward sound projection for traffic way ahead to pull over. Or is it that the swedes constantly check their mirrors.
It's been said that high motorway speeds reduce the forward projection of sirens in the UK.
Well, those are airhorns, so they do project very far, but most european drivers check their mirrors often enough to see an emergency vehicle coming from far away. The LED blue light also help with visibility in my experience.
Those airhorns can make a car 500 meters away react to my presence. They are wonderful.
It's not really the airhorns, you really don't hear those when you're in any modern car until they're very close. The main thing that gets people's attention is what you can clearly see in the tunnel, the constantly flashing high beams. You will notice those and the blue lights long before you ever hear any siren.
Not sure if European companies have these or not but some hospitals in the US have a mobile stroke unit with everything needed to treat a stroke even a CT scanner!
We have them in the Netherlands as well.
Project in Berlin Had them too, but studies didn't Show any advantage.
@@arnoldpalthe3915we only have a pilot version of this in Rotterdam, it's not standard through the country. Most places it's still quicker to have immediate transport via regular ambulance straight to the stroke center (IAT).
I would love to see inside one of these trucks
I have seen the inside of it. Unfortunately.
I saw one of these on road 227 once on the way home from school going in the opposite direction at like 120 KPH. btw the speed limit on that road is 70.
And its the only road that connects my town to the rest of Stockholm. Guess the town?
I'd love to see the inside layout and equipment in one of these. Some Australian state ambulance services have mobile intensive care ambulances, but are generally just based on the Mercedes Sprinter 319 van ( as are most Australian ambulances). Id be keen to know what skillset these paramedics use.
th-cam.com/video/-1ySsUOxKxA/w-d-xo.html
They carry 10 000 liters of medical gas, have all the ICU equipment plus space for modularity if the patient requires extra, they can have 5 medical staff plus seats for 3 relatives. It is truly an amazing vehicle.
You mention 2 dimensions, height and length, but the most important one for this video, is width.
My grandpa drives this kind of car for about 6 or 14 years now
6:20 is what you are looking for
Sweet ambulance, but I was listening carefully, and never really heard the last two cylinders !!.
bro that location in the start is crazy close to my house wtf
I'm from Sweden
6:23 That truck driver is not 'stressed out', they were already starting to move over, as was possible. Turning off the siren/s is often used, when they are not needed (for clear roads/no vehicles).... or in this case, when using the siren is obviously redundant. Also, speaking of 'situational awareness'... the truck driver with the red trailer is already moving over, and deliberately keeping the road ahead clear for the ambulance.
But he is also the one who is holding everyone behind including the two other trucks that the ambulance has difficulty passing. If he had kept moving until the wider area just ahead it would have gone way smoother for everyone. Sometimes wanting to help too much is actually getting in the way. The car that was between the two trucks understood the issue and overtook the red truck to allow the other truck to park to the side. If that car didn't move, the ambulance would still be stuck behind the other truck.
He didn't say the truck driver was stressed out, he said they turned the sirens off to reduce stress, which is true.
Speed is not key its stability is key
the thumbnails shows a dutch ambulance (edit: they changed it to the correct one)
it doesn't matter it's the same kind of ambulance
The thumbnail (as shown to me) shows the MICU i work on, wich is 39-9190 in Stockholm.
@@bjornparkercaldersparr2058they changed it, so yeah this is indeed the correct one
I like how people move like that, much better than in China
The siren sounds like me playing with the accordion my grandfather gave me when I was a kid.
Bruh in Sweden they get in no problem, in germany you can be lucky if there is even an emergency lane and that not every lane has turcks on it
Why showing a dutch emergency vehicle on the thumbnail when the video is abaut a swedish one?
3:39 why the ambulance is flashing so much?
The Swedish emergency vehicles have those flood lights or off-road lights mounted, they can be programmed to flash for grabbing more attention
Additionally, many response vehicles are modified to alternatively flash their left and right headlights for extra attention when responding under code
You will notice the flashing lights before the bluelights most of the time. Especially if its coming from behind.
dey kno that bich comin
For us??
So where were the police escorts ?
Why the f Would they need a police escort?
Not as common here but it does happen.
Not the biggest. The biggest is the intensive care bus in Ulm, Germany.
This one is bigger by a few meters and tons.
@@bjornparkercaldersparr2058 Nope. 4 ICU patients, waaay longer bus...
I think they mean biggest single patient ambulance. There are buses for larger accidents with many teams. (Not in Stockholm though, too big maybe)
Nevertheless it’s a huge impressive ambulance.
@@macjonte Might be. But that´s not written and as I have just proven wrong.
sadly turdmany is trash so that doesent matter.
Its not europes biggest ambulance, I know we here in Denmark have a actual semi truck that’s converted into a moving hospital, and also a bus for medics. Love the video otherwise haha
Same as here in the netherlands, a whole bus is converted into an ambulance. Very helpful during the covid pandemic
Same it's Switzerland, but in Switzerland (and I suppose than it's the same in Denmark) these aren't really "ambulance" anymore, they are moving hospital or control center to threat the biggest possible amount of patient in mass casualtie senarios.
PARKERING
10:06 going left... going left... abort! TURN RIGHT
You thumbnail is a dutch ambulance
Dacht hetzelfde man
Check the license plate.
Swedish.
@@BackyardSpaceProgram they changed it.
I really wish there was no narration on this. It's entirely unnecessary and its incredibly distracting
