WAS 500 electric ambulance

E-Ambulance MAN TGE / FLUX box body 5.5 tonnes

The powerful 140 kW drive system with a torque of 1200 Nm enables a top speed of 120 km/h and impresses with high acceleration values.

The electric ambulance manages around 200-250 km under real conditions with a single battery charge while operating the air conditioning/heating and medical equipment - and this with a weight of 5.5 t. With interim charges at hospitals and charging stations, the electric ambulance can be utilised all day long in the city. This noteworthy performance is achieved thanks to our use of highly efficient highvoltage lithium battery technology – in conjunction with our light weight body construction.

With charging times of 5 hours at 22 kW – or as little as 1.5 hours at 100 kW mode, the electric ambulance is back on the road in no time. The charging times can be put to exceptional use for preparation and follow up after deployments: Even a charging time of just 20 to 30 minutes at 22 kW at the ambulance site provides a significant range extension of around 30 kilometres. For your convenience, when charging in 22 kW mode you can use the 400 V CEE connector with 32 A fuse provided.

The drive system with permanently excited synchronous motors can optionally be designed as a 4x4 system.

The cockpit display provides information regarding the vehicle management, including the remaining range, charge status, energy consumption and vehicle status information.

The E-Ambulance saves both money and time: On the one hand, the electric drive system is much more efficient than a diesel-driven vehicle. On the other hand, maintenance costs and downtime for oil changes and other maintenance measures, which are required for the secure running of a combustion engine, are no more. Components that are susceptible to faults, such as turbochargers or transmissions, are also completely done away with.

The vehicle is accelerated and decelerated using just the accelerator pedal, by means of recuperation. The kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, and fed back into the battery. In addition to the higher energy efficiency, wear to the brakes is significantly minimised.

Fully integrated HV air conditioning components with complex control algorithms ensure that only the required amount of energy is used for the air conditioning of the patient compartment and the driver’s cabin.

Pre-conditioning while in charging mode ensures that the patient compartment is always at the correct temperature when in use.
