You god damn euros can't get anything right... You can't even die or get hurt with dignity there, you have to die in the back of a 1.2l diesel wagon that looks like something from a fisher price catalog.

I highly suspect they use them all but it's cool to have such a line up yet I've seen the Mustangs running at high speeds.

is that bumper is for kangoroos?

No kangaroos in the city. Out bush where there are, they generally use these bad boys.

then why the bumper?

Where is the regular Sprinter van? I've been on those they are very nice inside.
>>15347857
Dutch mercedes are 350D sprinters, also they probably have the best trauma care in the world, they usually have to drive 15min max to a lvl 1 trauma centre, almost nobody dies in the ambulance.
Read my thread here if you want.
I will not post from my country but the Dutch usually have very nice and very well equipped ambulances.

This was taken in the winter in my hometown. Pretty standard firetruck and ambulance for the U.S.

Isn't it?
It's also pretty expensive, heavy on the maintenance and even though there's decent space in the back (especially on the 2-door versions), it's still a bit limited. So those Tissier 6-wheelers (based on CX, XM and some later frankenstein-tier models built around a Jumpy van front) got progressively phased out by conventional vans chassis.
Also stumbled upon those sexy beauties.
Fulda in Germany used to have several of these americrap shitboxes (don't know if they still have them). They were generally regarded as utter shit. Cramped interior, poor build quality, hard to clean etc.

Could've just only used the Mustangs and the 370z. The rest is surely an attraction and a waste of money. BTW it's dubai, so nothing to get surprised.
Depends on the hospital, but anything goes, people are happy if there's money for new ambulances.
>>15351306
No that Ambulance is for Boston. They are designed to take as many niggers at once as nigger fights are so frequent.
>>15347857
Ambulances aren't going to drive 120 mph, we have helicopters for that. Also those diesels make very nearly the same torque as the V8 blubber boxes in your fatass Murrikan ambulances built on '70s frames and engines.
>>15348516
Dream job right up to the moment when you have to scrape some poor lad's dying body off the road. Or did you think they'd waste the driver's seat with someone who doesn't know a thing about paramedics and only drives?
Why in USA the paramedic use a Fire Dept truck as an ambulance?.
>>15348045

If its anything serious, you're getting thrown into one of these and taken to Glasgow, otherwise its one of those Mercedes sprinters previously posted

A lot of firetrucks have the same equipment and firemen have more comprehensive first aid training than most plebs
Little fun fact, in Australia a lot of the smaller Landcruiser Utes which are used for fire response in country towns respond to 000/911 calls due to paramedics being too far away :~)

Thank you for your answer :)
I think that is very practical mainly in big rural areas, I think that is very practical mainly in big rural areas. Maybe the reason that We don´t have in Europe is because our territory is smaller than Australia or USA

>>15351736
I dunno for the USA but in France firemen are sent as first responders and as such usually will have to give comprehensive first aid. Paramedics will in most case only ferry people on stable conditions and allow for medical aid if needed.
They even have different sirens to distinguish their different priority level on the roads. Paramedics go "I'm in a hurry please let me through", firemen go "Get out of the way I'm coming through"

>stretching up a wagon and giving it six wheels.
I don't see any reason to that in existence. Why not just buy a normal chassis-only or a high-roof van?
>>15352284
Because back then vans were still rough riding, slow tin boxes exclusively for plumbers.
>>15352287
Oh gotcha.
São Paulo. I see mostly mercs.
How come Sprinter ambulances are so popular all over the world?
>>15352442
Good marketing.
>>15352284
>>15352287
Still today, I reckon three axles with hydropneumatic suspension have a better ride than 2 axle vans. Still wouldn't be worth it.

Long story many factors.
>>15352447
Not this.
Mercedes doesn't build ambulances, there are specialised coach building companies in very country that do this, hence the variation in Sprinter conversions all throughout Europe. They (mostly) choose the base vehicle based on the wishes of paramedics.
Sprinters are rather nimble, they are not that large for European roads, drive well for vans, can go quite briskly.
Also they are available as chassis cabs, right from mercedes so if they go for a box build they really can go to town.
They can be equipped with air suspension, which improves patient comfort.
And really the cost of an ambulance is mostly in maintenance, most European countries have a Mercedes dealer in every big town so servicing anything on the car-side is easy.
Furthermore the chevy's which many European countries used consumed fuel like a mad men, they had two 100L tanks on both sides for a reason.
>>15351681
I know mang. It's quite obvious the only good part would be driving that fast.
In the vids I posted, usually the nurse drives and the medic is shotgun.
Plus, those guys don't really do that job, more like cardiac arrests, critical conditions, etc.
The firefighters are usually the ones who have to deal with that stuff.
>>15352549
Don't listen to this dipshit. As usual what hes shooting out of cock sucking device is mainly wrong.
>>15348516
And that's why dipshits with your mentality are always excluded from that kind of jobs.
Almost everywhere where I lived in Germany so far they had Sprinters as ambulances and X5s as fast response vehicles. My hometown just recently got a Q5 though

Most of Massachusetts is ruled by private EMS companies, at least around the cities and suburbs. I can't complain, mine treats me alright.
Where I live, they still use (and have used for years) E-350s for the ambulance chassis. Recently have seen a few built on F-450 Super Duty bodies, though.

VW is a bit more spacious, but they are extremely unreliable as they cannot handle the extra weight and the fast driving.
We have 166 or so of them in the country, and so far over 150 engines have been completely replaced, with the ambulances that run on the highways and so on being the most frequent.
They're just not tough enough. I believe they're going to completely stop using the Transporter/Caravelles completely for the sub-3.5 ton cars, and go with the VW Amarok instead, which on paper shoud do way better

Looking forward to hearing from you
Rode in the back of one when i banged my head against a curbstone and ended up with a huge cut that needed shitload of stitches. Pretty comfy
