Sebastian unless I’m mistaken the RCFD in Disney uses the small Transit Connect’s that are like mini-vans. Like this:

Ferno Washington is a leading manufacturer of EMS stretchers and ambulance-related equipment, so this unit probably is used at EMS conferences and trade shows to demo their equipment.

Hey Guys,
How do i send an e-mail to the admin? I tried thru the contact section but it will not let me in? Also i would like to state that reedy creek fpd in lake Buena Vista Florida aka ( Walt Disney world) Fpd uses the Ford transit Ambulances all over Disney parks and at Disney Springs. They use them to transport the patients thru the parks and than transfer to a waiting Ambulance that transports to the Hospital. The transits do carry a stretcher in the rig as well as ems bags and have room for one medic and the patient. Just a food for thought.

I don’t know why FORD doesn’t check this stuff but if you go on the FORD FLEET website under the ambulance section, you’ll see that the brochure shows an example of our discussion here. The only thing is that the brochure is from 2016.
Starting to wonder about FORD and some of the goofy things they do.

Probably suited more for private ambulance services or non emergency transport.
Although it has a diesel option, the GVW isn’t rated high enough hence, they still build the E-SERIES minus a diesel option.

marty also it is not an actual dept but appears to be a company demo vehicle but either it is still a transit box type while it may not be available this could have been done by ferno only either way I think its cool

Good find harry. If you look on their website, this option is listed like so:
Ford Transit 350 Chassis
(proof of concept)
It is not an operational option offered yet.
