PLATTSBURGH, NY, Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Demers Ambulances announces its first delivery in the state of Florida to Okaloosa County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) consisting of four vehicles: three MX 164 Type III ambulances and one LT2 van. Quality Emergency Vehicles in Lecanto, FL, USA, a Demers dealer, is responsible for the sale. This is the latest in Demers' ongoing expansion of sales.
"With hundreds of units in service around the world, the MX 164 ambulance is Demers' workhorse and overall best value Type III ambulance. Its design integrates Demers' pull-tested aluminum cabinet structure, independent HVAC systems, a multiplex electrical system, an exclusive Heads-Up Console (HUC) and, of course, the award winning ECOSMART anti-idle system for improving operating costs and providing important environmental benefits," explains Benoit LaFortune, Executive Vice President at Demers.
MX 164 Type III Ambulance Features
Cabinetry constructed of aluminum is pull-tested aboved industry standards and also features shatterproof Lexan doors and aluminum panels for a safer work environment and long-lasting interior.
Separate heating & A/C systems for maximum efficiency and for easier diagnostics and service.
Exclusive Heads-Up Console (HUC) on dashboard provides easy access to ambulance features while letting drivers keep their eyes on the road for increased safety.
Award-Winning ECOSMART Anti-Idle System Provides Environmental Benefits and Operating Cost Savings
While at idle, the ECOSMART System automatically shuts the chassis engine down when the module interior temperature and all voltage are at the correct levels. Once either the interior temperature or the unit's voltage moves outside the preset parameter, the system turns the engine back on automatically. The ecological and economic benefits of the system are many:
- Reduced fuel consumption during idle time
- Fuel costs savings
- A noteworthy impact on the environment, with reductions of several tons of CO2 emissions per year
- Reduced engine hours and increased time between service checks
- Longer life for the engine, chassis and ambulance
