WAS 500 Emergency Ambulance The New Sprinter WAS 500 Ambulance

Perfect use of space combined with ergonomic design for rescue personnel and patients following highest requirements in security and technology: The new WAS 500 on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis presents all established standards of the WAS brand. The patient compartment offers optimal working conditions and enough space for a comfortable treatment of the patient. A new generation of furniture with large rounded edges and illuminated grab handles facilitate the daily work of the rescue service personnel. The low level storage compartment at the front right provides storage for two emergency kits or backpacks, which are accessible easily and can be removed quickly. The integrated LED warning system in WAS design with improved visibility from the front and the side is the basis for the WAS box body design and ensures even greater safety.
