An off-road vehicle concept that arrives.

The Toyota Land Cruiser WAS 4x4 Ambulance for off-road missions worldwide.

Off-road is not just off-road - this has been confirmed time and time again by a wide variety of WAS projects for all- terrain rescue vehicles. From the mountains of Bavaria to the deserts of Qatar and Egypt, we draw on our experience in special vehicle construction for our vehicle concepts and are still learning. Because each area of operation places its own unique demands on the basic vehicle, body and equipment. The details must not only be adapted to the geographical and climatic conditions, but also to the structural conditions at the place of operation. For example, is there already a well-de-veloped rescue system or is it still being set up? Can technical knowledge and the availability of equipped workshops and spare parts be assumed?

Hot and dry or wet and cold: off-road is not just off-road.

With the Toyota Land Cruiser WAS 4x4 ambulance, we have developed a vehicle that remains efficient and operational even in structurally challenging areas. The standardised WAS 'plug and play' box body concept allows the greatest possible flexibility and is easy to repair, because spare parts for the Toyota Land Cruiser are available worldwide. Our local part-ners are trained to repair the WAS conversion so that vehicle downtime is minimised.
Not only can individual panels of the box body be easily re-paired, but the entire box body can be replaced and moun-ted on a new chassis. This increases the service life of the ambulance and reduces costs. Depending on the size of the project, we can even supply only the box body to our local partners, who procure the basic vehicles locally.
The WAS box body in sandwich construction for the Toyota Land Cruiser WAS 4x4 ambulance was specially developed for off-road use and is particularly torsionally stiff. In addition, it is lightweight and thus reduces fuel consumption while increasing stability. Of course, it is tested according to ECE R66 Roll Over, including the fastenings inside the case. Its low centre of gravity also enhances manoeuvrability off-road. To prevent wear and tear and to ensure safe hygiene, only non-organic material is used in the body, which can withstand even the highest temperatures in 'super hot countries'. With integrated high-performance air-conditioning technology, the thermal box body protects the crew and patients from ext-reme heat. So far, the vehicle has already been used successfully in various countries and will certainly also be used in the demanding terrain of other continents of the world.

Rainer Kunze from the Hanover City Fire Brigade welcomes us on a Monday in March. We are led by him through long corridors and quite a few doorways in Fire and Rescue Station 1, which was completed only two years ago. The station houses the regional control centre as well as all units of the rescue service, a fire enginge, special vehicles, plus the administration and workshops of the Hanover Fire Brigade.
