Doors from WAS

for ambulances and special-purpose vehicles

All access and equipment doors on our ambulances and special-purpose vehicles close in a double fold with two seals. The double fold on the door and on the side of the box ensures that the patient compartment is well protected against noise and moisture from outside.

The bonded windows on all the doors of our vehicle bodies are flush with the vehicle surface, creating a very smooth surface. The improved aerodynamics achieved in this way save fuel and reduce wind noise. At the same time, the windows ensure that the interior is quieter, as they are separated from the interior by the adhesive. Cleaning the ambulance or special-purpose vehicle is also easier.

The windows are tinted without the use of films, which increases hygiene and durability. This ensures that the interior remains private at all times. All of the recessed door handles are designed for both right- and left-handed users. The generous handle depth allows them to be fully engaged even when wearing work gloves.

WAS Door Assist closing aid

An electromechanical closing aid, WAS Door Assist, has been developed for all sliding and hinged doors. When hinged and sliding doors are closed in the conventional manner, an extremely unpleasant overpressure can develop for the patient and the assistant in the patient compartment, accompanied by a corresponding noise. The WAS Door Assist System pulls the door closed and locks it silently and without creating excess pressure. This helps to avoid additional stress for patients and medical staff. The electric door closer is optionally available for all doors.

WAS has always been committed to developing vehicles that meet the specific requirements of the region in which they are used. Over the years, we have honed techniques and solutions that can be found in the following areas:
