Based on a 4-wheel drive and increased ground clearance based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Volvo XC70, the Nilsson ambulance now uses the new XC90 instead of the Mercedes Sprinter and the Volvo XC70 for a new ambulance, It offers the same features but with a larger cabin volume, which improves the working conditions of the staff.Nilsson ambulances are mainly in Sweden and Norway but may also be expanded to other European countries.
The Nilsson XC90 ambulance project was launched in June 2016 and since then has completed a number of tests for new prototypes that focus on safety and work environment.The wheelbase of the Nilsson XC90 has been extended by 1m and is currently supported by the Nilsson XC70 The standard dimensions of the ambulance, but the cabin becomes wider (11cm), higher (26cm) and longer (15cm) .In order to make full use of space, the interior has become more compact. The design concept of this new ambulance It allows ambulance staff to have easy access to all necessary equipment while wearing a seat belt Ergonomic improvements such as lower entrance height and electric stretcher minimize the lifting weight .
Advanced technology and lightweight performance are trademarks of Nilsson vehicles, so the emphasis on making the necessary adjustments is based on lightweight and light vehicles, without compromising on structural strength, which is necessary for heavy duty on-board equipment. Through the use of advanced sandwich composites and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, Nilsson has created a lightweight, new ambulance based on its strength and rigidity.
Working with Nilsson, Faiber Komposit, a Swedish specialist specializing in composites, manufactures new and old ambulance bodies.
For the Nilsson XC70, the complete body module is produced by applying carbon fiber skins to slotted and perforated Divinycell core material for easy resin flow.In order to speed up the production process and optimize laminate quality, The supplied Diab core material kit ready for use.The RTM process used consists of a female die and a male die, the part being self-contained on both sides, minimizing any subsequent trimming operations.
Nilsson increased production flexibility by producing body modules in a completely separate production process instead of building body modules directly on the chassis of the vehicle.Nilsson recently obtained a contract to supply veterinary vehicles to the Swedish Agricultural Commission, Signed a preliminary agreement to provide ambulances to the Västra Götalandsregionen health area.
