We make vehicles into something special. WAS special vehicles and ambulance vehicles.

WAS is a leading manufacturer of special vehicles and ambulances. There are many reasons for this. Most of them can be found in a WAS vehicle itself: the innovative technology, the perfect ergonomics, the premium-quality materials, made in Germany, and the expertise of our employees. A WAS vehicle makes paramedics stronger and operations more efficient.

Not everything that customers and paramedics value about WAS are things that can be installed in our vehicles: such as the contact person who is there for each customer personally and provides advice and support from idea to use. Or the qualified technical support, who provide fast, reliable assistance. Contacts and specialists are the extras who keep vehicles and paramedics operational – and will do for years to come. Included as standard with WAS. 

The WAS Factor

Over 350 employees in Emsbüren produce sophisticated special-purpose vehicles and ambulances. High volumes, low volumes and unique custom vehicles. Developers, technicians, electronic engineers, assemblers and other specialists work hand in hand with each other here. Because special vehicles from WAS are 90% hand-made. And with every little detail, we take a high-performance base vehicle and turn it into something special: a WAS specialist vehicle.

An energy boost with new management.

Following the merger with the Bochum-based LUEG Group, in November 2021, we at WAS acquired a new and expanded board of management. The new CEO is industry expert Roland Müller, who boasts long-term experience in the construction of utility and special-purpose vehicles. Stepping in as CFO is Dr. Patrick Kresse, from LUEG, where he performed the role of Head of Strategy, Controlling & Business Intelligence with expertise and foresight. The role of CSO will be performed by long-term WAS managing director Andreas Plöger, who has already been shaping and driving important corporate developments since 2013.
