This is The American-Crafted Experience
We design our Type I ambulances to be fully customized to cater to the unique needs of every fire and emergency fleet. Our team has an unwavering commitment to deliver one of the most dependable emergency vehicles on the road today, made to your exact specifications so you can protect and serve time and again.
We know lives depend on our products every day, and we take that responsibility seriously. That’s why we provide a full range of expertly crafted ambulances. We validate our engineering and construction through NHTSA high-speed crash and sled testing to improve our designs and ensure occupant safety.
We ensure AEV ambulances have structural strength and integrity by testing our ambulances at speeds 27% above federal guidelines for passenger cars. We are also the first manufacturer to conduct a multi-vehicle, opposite-side crash test.
Engineered Value
At AEV, we use rigorous manufacturing processes and engineering innovation to achieve superior quality and value, meeting your unique specifications.
INFINITY-EDGE™ BODY PANELS
Our pre-formed aluminum walls, doors and windows feature rolled edges and wrap-around corners, minimizing the potential for corrosion and enhancing aesthetics.
SMART-ACTION™ DOOR MECHANICS
Our door handles have counter-balanced internal mechanisms, so doors require less force to open, but remain closed in the event of an accident. Our free-floating handle design also provides “give” when doors are locked, reducing damage and maintenance while ensuring safety.
TRU-PRECISION™ DOOR GASKETS
AEV welds seams together and custom fits the material to precise tolerances, resulting in better sealing doors, enhanced aesthetics and consistent repeatability for new and replacement parts.
VACUUM-FORMED UPHOLSTERY AND ABS TRIM BEZELS
In-house fabrication provides more opportunity for customization while maintaining sanitary benefits, like our seamless upholstery, which allows for more effective cleaning and decontamination of blood-borne pathogens.
PERMA-LABELS™
We laser-etch labels on controls and switch plates, providing permanent, clear identification of components, allowing EMTs and paramedics to perform duties safely and minimizing maintenance and repairs.
Quality & Safety Built In
SAFETY INSIDE AND OUT
We are focused not only on the safety of our ambulances, but also on building them safely and protecting our people. That is why, since 2008, we have partnered with North Carolina OSHA as one of a select group of STAR manufacturers that go above and beyond the requirements of the law for health and safety.
PURPOSE-BUILT™ ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
We build our custom electrical sub-assemblies from as-built schematics outside the ambulance body to increase precision, improve quality and provide cleaner installations.
V-FORCE™ WELDS
We bevel the edges on our extrusions at the weld joints to provide increased surface area for stronger welds. This also allows them to be ground down smooth for an exceptional finish.
DUO-SHIELD™ PRIMER
We use two applications of primer materials in our paint process: 1) a durable epoxy coat to create stronger adhesion between the aluminum skin, paint prep and the primer layer, and 2) a urethane primer applied before the paint.
After Sales Support and Warranty
When a customer purchases an AEV ambulance, the experience is truly just beginning. A dedicated network of independent dealers, backed by the AEV team and REV Financial Services, proudly stands behind our products and cares for you long after the sale with outstanding warranties, including up to 7-year/70,000-mile paint and electrical warranties and up to a 20-year structural warranty.
