The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:
2018 Ford E-450 Type III Emergency Vehicle represents a premier emergency response configuration, matching Ford’s most reliable heavy-duty chassis powertrain with a highly regarded, premium modular box. Based on the vehicle identification number (VIN) and manufacturing data, here is an exhaustive breakdown of the powertrain, structural design, and onboard systems.
Chassis Powertrain & Capabilities
The vehicle's foundation relies on a severe-duty cutaway platform engineered specifically to handle the high constant weight of a fully stocked emergency response unit.
- The Engine: The 6.8L Triton V10 is a naturally aspirated gasoline workhorse. In the E-450 application, this engine generates 305 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. It uses a single overhead cam (SOHC) configuration and is highly favored in fleet applications for its extreme durability and predictable, linear power delivery when accelerating heavily under load.
- The Transmission: This engine is paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed TorqShift automatic transmission (6R140). It features an integrated Tow/Haul mode that alters shift points to manage deceleration down hills, reducing braking heat and rotor wear.
- Weight Rating: The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) stands at 14,500 lbs, confirming it has the reinforced suspension, heavier brake rotors, and commercial axles needed to accommodate both the Demers module and dual-paramedic equipment loads.
Demers MX164E Type III Ambulance Module
The custom patient box by Demers Ambulances is highly prioritized by fleets due to its lightweight engineering and aerodynamic profile.
- Box Construction: Built out of a 164-inch-long all-aluminum module. Demers uses a proprietary high-shear structural elastic adhesive to bond outer panels to high-strength extruded aluminum sections, maximizing impact safety while preventing corrosion.
- Vibration Isolation: The module attaches to the E-450 chassis via 10 rubber isolation mount points, significantly reducing road vibration and keeping the ride quiet for patient care.
- Interior Headroom: A full 72 inches of interior headroom provides standing room so that a tall medic can stand straight up and perform fluid patient workflows.
- Aerodynamic Efficiency: Demers includes their signature aerodynamic roof layout, lowering wind resistance on the highway and improving overall fuel efficiency compared to boxy, square-front competitors.
Electronic Control & System Management
- +MYSTERE Component Panel: This refers to Demers’ proprietary Multiplex Electronic Control System. Instead of a cluster of analog rocker switches and complex wiring looms, the Mystere panel handles smart power allocation. It routes electrical diagnostics, allows touch-screen module management, and controls the secondary environment via solid-state circuitry.
- Climate Controls: The panel orchestrates a heavy-duty dual-ducted HVAC system, isolating driver and patient compartment environments. It utilizes separate hot and cold air ducting to provide consistent cabin heat or rapid AC cooling without dead zones.
Medical & Emergency Equipment Specifics
- Stryker Ready: The patient floor is pre-configured and reinforced with floorplate anchoring and under-floor wiring designed to accept a Stryker Power-LOAD or performance stretcher fastener system, automating patient lifting to prevent paramedic back injuries.
- Ohio Medical Oxygen Port: Standard quick-connect medical gas hub located near the primary airway seat, allowing fast hookup of regulators and high-flow wall oxygen.
- Whelen Warning Array: Fully outfitted with high-intensity Whelen LED emergency flashers.
- Whelen Traffic Advisor: Mounted to the rear upper box header, this linear directional lightbar uses sequencing LED patterns to safely direct passing highway traffic left or right around the parked emergency vehicle during roadway incidents.
