Custom-Built Ambulances
Tailored to Your Needs
Mercedes Sprinter Accessible Minibus Overview
The latest Mercedes Sprinter sets the market standard for commercial vehicles: safer and more versatile, with seating for up to 17 people (depending on configuration).
The suite of driver-assistance systems (including Brake Assist, Crosswind Assist, Adaptive ESP, Active Distance Assist and Blind Spot Assist), M2-tested floor and seats, reversing camera, tachograph (62 mph limiter), and compliance with LEZ and Individual Vehicle Approval together deliver a confident, ready-for-work package.
Flexible Layouts and Seamless Accessibility
The Sprinter in its Accessible Minibus specification lets you tailor the interior to the job: from standard seating layouts to mixed arrangements with dedicated wheelchair spaces.
Options include passenger lifts (in-board or underfloor cassette), larger windows for improved visibility (tinted to OEM specification), an automatic side step, and practical touches such as a rooflight and overhead rails.
Key features:
ACCESS LIFT – FAST, SAFE BOARDING
A robust, wheelchair-friendly boarding solution that keeps the cabin clear and speeds up turnaround. The underfloor PLS Access cassette lift stows neatly beneath the vehicle, freeing interior space and deploying quickly when needed. For builds where internal stowage is preferred, an onboard passenger lift is also available.
Safe working load: 400 kg; platform: 1410 mm (L) × 825 mm (W) – suitable for a wide range of manual and powered wheelchairs.
ELECTRIC SIDE STEP
A powered, low-profile entry step that makes boarding quicker and safer for ambulant passengers and carers. Linked to the side door for automatic deploy/retract, it keeps the doorway clear in transit and complements the Side Entry layout and passenger load lamp for improved visibility at night.
DRIVER-FOCUSED CABIN
An ergonomic, durable workspace for long shifts: a high-mounted 7-inch display (DAB, Bluetooth, USB-C), multi-function steering wheel and keyless start. A driver’s screen with a night-blind reduces glare, while the skylight and cant-rail tracking are standard; a tachograph with a 62 mph limiter is factory-fitted.
Generous storage and wipe-clean surfaces keep the cabin tidy, and clear sightlines with an anti-glare fascia and intuitive controls help cut fatigue. Options include extra power/USB points and camera integration.
Other features:
SIDE ENTRY DESIGN
Speeds up boarding and keeps the aisle clear for carers and ambulant passengers.
