Ford Transit Ambulance
The world's most procured ambulance base for bulk government fleet programs — Transit 350 with 2.0L EcoBlue diesel, 3,500 kg GVWR, and a factory Ambulance Preparation Package for EN 1789 Type B conversion.
The Ford Transit 350 (L3H3/L4H3) is the leading choice for large-volume government tenders and international fleet programs. Its 3,750 mm extended wheelbase and high-roof configuration deliver a 3,700 mm patient compartment length, 2,070 mm internal width, and 1,900 mm height — meeting EN 1789 Type B spatial requirements. Ford's factory Ambulance Preparation Package provides a reinforced load floor, pre-wired power provisions, and an uprated alternator, reducing conversion time for bulk orders. The 2.0L EcoBlue diesel produces 170 HP and 390 Nm from 1,500 rpm, available in RWD or AWD. Competitive unit cost, global dealer coverage, and Euro 6 / GOST-R availability make the Transit the preferred platform for Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia export tenders.
