I think ive seen that truck as well, i also saw a merc cab chassis with a module on it but was broken down on the graham farmer freeway a few months ago and had all blue lights on it no red with SJA logos on it ?

Is this the same truck were talking about or another one ?

Cheers

Thats the 2nd Ford in the AlAS fleet, still some concerns whether or not it meets Australian standard.

Not like the Bluey Day Ambulance, the vehicle actually meets current Australian standards. Which will upset some forum viewers.

Exactly what 'Australian Standard' ?? (ie for what?).

Oooopsy my bad

I was imformed by another, that the WANTS vehicle's colour was to an Australian standard, but I am unable to confirm this, as the person concern is currently away.

I know and understand that are/were issues regarding the equipment used in the vehicle, it was also my understanding that those issues had been fixed?

I think some of the guys were complaining the vehicle was too ""bright"" and didnt like driving it.

It meets standards i think the complains come from people driving it.

Well wat I heard thru the traps was that it wasnt like beacuse it gace less of an imptression of an ambulnace and more of an ice cream van impression.

Ive been lucky enufff not to have seen inside it but id assume it would be much the same as a standard truck, just set up for paeds?
