2011 Mercedes Crestline ICON Ambulance

[Dean Wilkinson 18]

This is the first production model (after the proto-type)of Crestlines new Mercedes ICON Ambulance. The patient compartment is much narrower than most modular ambulances but has 72 inches of headroom. The interior is very much in the European style and the unit is set up to carry only one stretcher and one ambulatory patient. I will post more pictures once the truck is delivered here in about 10 days.

Very interesting. You can always tell it's a Crestline by the body shape. I saw one at the Texas EMS Expo and it had a lot of cool features.

I'm looking forward to seeing the indide shots.

Thanks for the pic!

How many units are you guys ordering ?

If you go down south all you see is these, except the skinnier ones, like the WEMS-Alpha ones.

Additional Pictures of the Mercedes prior to delivery. This vehicle is equipped with Ferno Acetech http://www.fernoacetech.com/Electronic Control Unit Module,Advance Vehicle Infomatics Module and their ECORUN System. We will be installing Ferno Acetech rooftop solar panels as part of the ECORUN system. The truck has also been equipped with a diesel hot air heater which in conjunction with the ECORUN system will allow the truck to be kept warm during street corner postings and while at scenes, without the vehicle engine running. As 40% our vehicle engine operating hours are spent idling, we expect to see a significant reduction in fuels costs . Additional features include Whelelen LED lighting and siren and Crestline's Crestcoat powder coating finish. The vehicle was designed and built to allow for the installation of Stryker's new PowerLoad system once it is available.

What are you talking about? WEMS ALS ambulances are Ford box ambulances and the BLS ambulances are Ford vans.

Additionally, down here they are not called ambulances, rather Rescues.

Great, the south is turning into Rhode Island!!!!

I saw the boot on the gear shift, so I have to ask is this an automatic or manual transmission on the rig?

5-speed NAG W5A 380 automatic transmission
