New Ram Ambulance

I had considered the Promaster but soon elimilimiated it. A 176HP V6 just wouldn't last very long in my organisation. I opted for the Ram 4500 4x4 6.7l Cummins with liquidspring suspension.

The Promaster might make an ok in city transfer vehicle though.

welcome  to the city.

I think front wheel drive is a huge no no for light industrial vehicles such as an ambulance. The Sprinter is probably the better choice for a service seeking out lower cost and or more nimble alternatives to the traditional type 3 unit.

I'm genuinely curious to see how the liquidspring technology works out. My patient's ride quality over government maintained roads is hoping it's a winner.

You getting liquid springs  too Rock?  You can follow the progress of our remount on the facebook page. I have some g-force data from my E450 type 3. When this type 1 is on the road I'll have some hard data for comparison.

They're up for consideration in the next RFP. Knowing the usual pace of government, if they're a success they'll be at least one model year behind. BCAS is an enormous contract by Canadian standards (100+ units a year) so you can be sure Crestline and Demers will be solidly duking it out.
