PRESS RELEASE

WEST JEFFERSON, NC—American Emergency Vehicles® (AEV) announced November 1, 2021, the production of a custom-built Ford Transit Type III ambulance for Life EMS Ambulance in Michigan.

The new ambulance variant combines a Ford Transit cutaway chassis with a modular body. The model further expands AEV’s product portfolio, giving EMS providers additional choices to best meet their operations demands.

AEV engineers worked with Life EMS Ambulance in designing the customized Type III Ford transit to meet their specific safety and patient care needs. The ambulance has a narrow, 86” body, conducive to navigating congested, urban areas. It is enhanced with AEV engineering innovations, such as Infinity-Edge™ Body Panels, Smart-Action™ Door Mechanics and Tru-Precision™ Door Gaskets.

This new Ford Transit Cutaway contains many safety and comfort features to best support our paramedics and EMTs in their life saving mission as well as the patients and families we serve," said Mark Meijer, founder and president, Life EMS Ambulance.

Life EMS Ambulance will take delivery of their new ambulance in mid-November, following the American Ambulance Association (AAA) Annual Conference in Grapevine, Texas, November 1-3, 2021, where it was on display at AEV’s booth.

“The team at AEV is committed to meeting the evolving needs of EMS providers,” said Randy Barr, director of sales for AEV. “It was a pleasure to collaborate with the team at Life EMS Ambulance to design exactly what they needed while creating a template for other customers with similar needs.”
