Medicalised ambulance based on an MSF standard vehicle type HZJ78/GDJ78.
The essential part of the conversion consists of the integration of a cell giving space to a functional arrangement and the separation of the steering cabine. The concept and composition of it all allows for a proper cleaning and desinfection of the cell.
The cell or ambulance unit is exclusively intended for medical use.
