The high-performance synchronous motor is integrated into the battery system, which includes intelligent battery management. This monitors, controls and safeguards the supply of power to the entire vehicle.
E-mobility is becoming established – because it is efficient, powerful and zero emission. It’s high time that sustainable drive technology also became established in special and emergency vehicle construction. With our electric ambulance, we are showing that the electric drive system is also a viable alternative for emergency vehicles with a high weight of up to 5.5 t. Thanks to the intensive testing of our prototype within the ambulance service by more than 20 European ambulance organisations, we have been able to develop the WAS E-ambulance to production level. More than 20,000 service kilometres covered serve as proof of the reliability of this innovative drive concept for use in emergency vehicles.

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 WAS lightweight box construction also pays dividends for the E-Ambulance. It not only saves weight and thus drive power, but also offers custom equipment options depending on the main intended application. The power supply to the medical equipment, including the air conditioning technology and ventilation, is also fully covered by the electric motor.

E-mobility is promoted by the Department for Transport as a key technology for a future-proof and sustainable transport system. Electromobility projects within the emergency services also benefit from this when it comes to the procurement of electric vehicles and the development of charging. There are also many local funding pools. This type of funding makes your new electric vehicle fleet even more affordable.
