The Ford Mustang Mach-E is proof of how ambulances can be reinvented. This electric vehicle is carefully designed for the medical technicians of the London Ambulance Service: smaller size to move around the city more easily, powerful engine to reach the emergency room, range of about 482 km and cutting-edge technology.
Currently, the Rapid Response Unit in the British capital has 42 vehicles, all of them specially modified Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles, according to the brand in a press release.
Marek Lowicz-Brady, one of its workers, assures that it is a practical vehicle. It can carry virtually the same equipment that can be found in any ambulance, but it is much more agile when weaving its way through urban traffic.
According to the company, the Mach-E were also chosen for their ability to complete a full shift without needing to be recharged, which saves valuable time and contributes to reducing the fleet’s total CO2 emissions.
In total, they have a range of about 482 km. According to their calculations, that gives them 12 hours, the same length as a shift for any worker at the London Rapid Response Unit.
Finally, the service highlights the usefulness of the SYNC Integration module, a type of state-of-the-art browser in which the same (or better) information appears about the location of the patient or the emergency in question, as well as other relevant data. about traffic conditions.
