The delivery of five new Mercedes/Wilker ambulances further enhances DFB’s ability to tackle emergency calls, and once fully fitted, they will be delivered to the relevant stations.

Each ambulance features solar panels to supplement the powering of the electrical systems and reduce CO2 emissions.

Meanwhile, they also feature re-generative braking which uses braking energy to charge batteries.

According to DFB, the ambulances are also the “greenest yellow ambulances yet!”
