ERGONOMY 

Every tool of the rescuer must be at hand whenever they need it. 

We know that during any rescue operation in which our ambulance is used, every second counts. Here there is no time to think about where life-saving instruments and tools are located. 

When designing the medical compartment of the ambulance, we took advantage of comments and tips from experienced rescuers. We arranged the interior of the ambulance so that the entire layout of the body is user-friendly.

We are improving both the skills of our employees and reducing material losses during the production process.
