Climate neutrality, flexibility, excellent driving characteristics and a permissible total weight - there are many factors that speak in favour of using electrically powered ambulances in rescue services. This now also includes 1235 successfully completed missions during the test phase in the regular rescue service.
On the way to series production, a prototype of the E-ambulance was on a practical tour through Germany and Europe. The e-ambulance with a box body was tested under real conditions by rescue organisations and emergency services in a total of 20 cities and the feedback was evaluated. On 229 days of operation, 20,784 kilometres were driven on 1,235 missions. The result: the testers gained confidence in the new technology within a very short space of time and there were no failures to report during operations. The quiet and dynamic driving style with powerful acceleration and good road holding were particularly favourably received by the testers. The production-ready WAS 500 e-ambulance is also impressive in terms of safety and environmental protection, as the batteries installed are not only powerful but also safe and sustainable.
