It has generally been the case that the Passenger Transport fleet has been provided by Renault and the front line fleet by Mercedes so the Renault front line vehicle above was a suprise. All newer front line ambulances I have seen are Mercedes based.
Hi, I work for SWAST - generally in urban areas all the new vehicles are Mercs, out in the country generally the new vehicles provided are Renault masters (like the older white ones but in EU standard yellow) as the Mercs are a lot wider and very difficult to get down small country lanes. Most of the yellow Renaults like this one are based in Cornwall(this one is St Austell based if I remember right). It doesn't always work though as Kingsbridge have a big yellow Merc and struggle like anything getting places sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that - didnt realise the reason behind both types.
