Since 2009, Wheeled Coach has supplied over 600 ambulances specially
constructed to the operational and design requirements of FDNY. This
most recent order of 76 ambulances features an auxiliary power unit
enabling the vehicles to fully operate when parked without the need to
run the engine in idle mode. The engine idle reduction technology
provides measurable maintenance and fuel cost savings and a
quality-of-air benefit for New York City residents. EMS professionals
and patients also benefit from less exposure to engine exhaust emissions
during a service call.
In addition to the green technology, these vehicles come equipped with
4-wheel drive capability to ensure first responders answer the call in
the worst of weather conditions. “Our employees take great pride in
building the most advanced and rugged vehicles to meet the demands of
the city that never sleeps,” stated Tim Sullivan, CEO of REV Group. “Our
designers and engineers work closely in partnership with FDNY to build
their trucks. It’s a collaboration that has developed over the last
decade,” said Kevin Kraus head of engineering at Wheeled Coach.
