American Emergency Vehicles has made a commitment to the end user by selecting the highest grade materials and components, and designing each vehicle to maximize dependability, functionality, and serviceability. At AEV, safety is not optional which is why they don’t just meet federal safety regulations but exceed them. AEV believes that the only way to validate the structural integrity of the patient module is through an actual crash test. While federal regulations mandate an impact speed of 33 miles per hour in side-impact testing, AEV increased that speed to 42 miles per hour to recreate the potential risk of a severe ambulance collision, not once, but twice. In fact, each AEV modular body is tested and certified to the highest structural integrity level in the industry. AEV employs certified welders, master electricians, and skilled craftsmen to build your ambulance to your exact specifications.
Each AEV ambulance features all aluminum construction and seam-free technology which improves appearance and durability. AEV also offers high efficiency, high capacity HVAC systems; a standardized electrical system with self-diagnosing circuit boards; and available aluminum cabinet construction. AEV’s commitment to produce a high quality product is evident in their warranties which include a 20 year module construction, 7 year electrical system, 7 year conversion, and 7 year paint warranty.
