Manufactured at Leader Emergency Vehicles in South El Monte, CA,
this all-electric ambulance eliminates the pollution of a standard
gasoline ambulance. In addition to being less harmful to the
planet, the electric ambulance has the potential to lower patient
transportation costs due to lower fuel costs and maintenance
needs.
“We are committed to lead the industry in electric ambulances to
meet the sustainability missions of our customers, such as DocGo’s
goal to have an all-electric fleet by 2032,” said Anoop Prakash,
president, REV Ambulance Group. “We’re delighted to help DocGo
reach their target, with the support of our partner Lightning
eMotors.”
Lightning eMotors, a leading provider of zero emissions medium
duty commercial vehicles and electric vehicle technology for
fleets, worked with Leader and DocGo to create the new vehicle. The
Ford Transit T350 Type II ambulance chassis was electrified at
Lightning eMotors and built at Leader’s facility. Leader’s High
Roof Transit van offers up to 86 kWh of battery capacity that can
be charged via Level 2 AC charging or DC fast charging. This model
is equipped with dual rear wheels, increased interior headroom to
aid crews in loading and unloading their patient, as well as an
extended body length to provide more workspace for patient
care.
"We are honored to have had the opportunity to work alongside
Leader on this exciting initiative for DocGo," said Nick Bettis,
director of marketing and sales operations at Lightning eMotors.
“In addition to being environmentally-friendly, the drastic
reduction in pollutants is better for the overall health of the
patients being transported.”
The DocGo delivery, along with recent orders from American
Medical Response (AMR) and Hamad Medical Corporation (Qatar),
further demonstrates REV’s leadership in bringing innovative
technology to the EMS community.
