WAS 500 Emergency Ambulance
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Box Body 5 T

Optimal use of space, ergonomic conditions for emergency medical personnel and patients, and the highest standards of safety and technology: The new WAS 500 emergency ambulance, based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, combines proven quality standards with innovative assistance and control solutions.

The patient compartment offers an ideal hygienic working environment as well as sufficient space to perform treatments ergonomically and safely. Intelligent systems such as the WAS Smart Control info display with advanced display and support functions, as well as integrated oxygen and status monitoring, increase transparency and ease of use during operations.

Furniture with rounded edges and illuminated grab handles make the daily work of emergency medical personnel easier. The vehicle concept is complemented by well-thought-out solutions such as the electric locking system, the robust and repair-friendly box body, and WAS Lift Assist for the ergonomic loading and unloading of a carrying chair. The integrated WAS warning system with high side and front visibility lays the foundation for the WAS box body design and ensures even greater safety on the road.
