A new definition of safety
For your health and protection in the field

We promise exceptional safety. That is why we set the standards ourselves in many cases – and we set them higher than required by the norms. In addition, we subject ourselves to particularly demanding safety tests, such as those conducted by VCA in England, UTAC in France and TÜV Rheinland in Germany. And we don't just test individual models, but our entire range of vehicles. That's because we want our customers and the emergency services to trust us.

4x4 Offroad
Using the example of the WAS 500 Ambulance Type B 4x4 Iveco box body

Our new box body ambulance is setting new standards in off-road capability and is specially designed for emergency operations in difficult terrain and remote regions. With all-wheel drive, differential locks and a robust suspension, the vehicle offers optimal traction on surfaces such as mud, snow or debris. The well-thought-out storage concept includes two stretcher supports in the patient compartment, as well as ergonomically placed external and underfloor compartments for oxygen cylinders and rescue tools. Thanks to a mechanical-pneumatic lifting support system, the ambulance can be loaded and unloaded comfortably and safely despite its high ground clearance.
