Who remembers the original Ambuchannel112 YT? This dude was the boss of ermergency POVs. He had more than 100K subs and we all looked forward to friday because that was the day he posted a new vid every week. Too bad his employer made him stop recording :(
I still miss that channel!
Yeah, it was the highlight of my weeks back then, his employer can shove a cactus where the sun doesn't shine - at least that's how I felt back then. I'm still pissed about it ofc.
@@SebMcayonI can understand the desicion. Brandweer Lunteren was also offline for a while for the same reason.
ja klopt robin. dat kanaal heeft toen een andere naam gekregen aan de hand van zijn hobby meen ik.
Oh yeah, I have almost forgotten about this channel but when I saw the first seconds of the video I thought to myself "wait a minute, I know that video!". Can't believe, it's been so long already. It really was a great channel.
Emergency vehicles in the Netherlands ALWAYS use turn signals.
Often extra turn signals are incorporated in the light bars,
Turn signals are very important for other traffic to see what the intentions of the emergency vehicle are, so they can anticipate on the direction of the emergency vehicle.
Turn signals are also necessary because ambulances can use any lane to get to an intersection. If the right turn lane is clear, they'll use that. Even if they want to turn left.
Same here in Australia, legal requirement
@@arjankleenejust like 9.25 You can hear him just turned the signal (down with his left hand) for turning left and afterwards the clicking sound.
Same applies to the UK too for indicators
@alwynemcintyre2184 yeah same apply to any emergency vehicle in Denmark... its also a legal requirement.
That close call shows exactly why you shouldn't just mindlessly stop. You have to allow the emergency vehicle through as best you can whether that means pulling over, stopping or continuing on. You have to pick the best option for the situation, in that case stopping was unnecessary and added danger.
Some people get "blue light panic" so the focus estate didn't mean any harm, and once realised they were an impediment moved forward
yeah that was not too bad... at least they didn't just sit there. They realised immediately and moved
4:15 That is a 3rd gen Ford Mondeo. The 2nd gen was sold in the US as a Ford Contour
10:51 On the Euro Car Show you saw a Fiat Cinquecento. This is the follow-up Model called "Seicento" (BTW: Cinquecento means 500 in Italian, Seicento 600, referring to the models from the 60s, based on their engine size in CC)
that Mondeo is a mk3 but it's called the second generation. makes sense right? and the mk5 mondeo was sold as Ford Fusion in NA
It’s the other way around: the car in the video is the Seicento (600)!
There is a Cinquecento (500) with a similar body, produced between 91 to 99.. there is also a kitted “Cinquecento Sporting” with whopping 54hp😅
Also: Special Edition “Cinquecento Sporting Michael Schumacher”
@@OmbraYSG read it again, but more precisely.
That's what I said, but I was referring to a Video from a few days ago.
I was with my Dad when he went into cardiac arrest, I was talked through giving him CPR on the phone and I got his heart going again just before the ambulance arrived, which incredibly arrived 4 minutes after I first called, the ambulance crew said in my area they don't all wait at the base, some scatter themselves around waiting in carparks and such if between calls so they get better coverage, they also said for cardiac arrest they go all out to get there asap.
You did a great job! I hope your Dad recovered. 🙏
IDK about the Netherlands, but in Germany the smaller wagon unit has a doctor and a driver. They are either sent out at the same time as the ambulance when it's obvious from the start that they'll be needed or get called by the EMTs on scene when they see this is above their paygrade.
Regular E-class ambulance.
It’s the same in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Thats not the case here. This is a normal ambulance
@@Robin6512nope its not. They sporadically sent rapid responders. Theyre never doctors and they always drive themselves
@@user-ie6jr4bg1w Yeah, I gathered that from the other comments by car guys... not my expertise at all! But he seemed confused about what the wagons are and when they come at 5:45
Actually the guy who did not brake was in the right. You should not brake abruptly, but rather keep a consistent speed and get onto the side of the road :]
so many people just panic when the hear an emergency vehicle coming just stopping on a motorway is dangerous as hell
They where both muppets. The guy that stopped on the left lane had no excuse to do that. It was not a busy road. He should have gone to the right lane and slow down or even stop in the right lane. The guy still driving on the right should have immediately stopped when he saw the situation. Although not intentionally (probably) he was basically working towards blocking the ambulance.
@pintiliecatalin in no situation other than a huge accident should you stop on a road that carries a 70mph speed limit. Yes you move out the way slow down to maybe 40-50 but stopping is not or should not be an option unless you are on the shoulder out of the way.
@@R3ED3R Are we looking at a different video? That incident was clearly in the city. So most likely a speed limit of 50, possible even lower. And those are KILOMETERS not miles. And if the situation requires it you do stop for an ambulance. It is always easier for an ambulance driver to navigate traffic when people slow down or stop. Of course provided that there are not many muppets on the road.
@@pintiliecatalin I don't know the speed limits in the Netherlands but that to me looked like a duel carriageway. As i said in my previous comment yes move out of the way and slow down but stopping is just dangerous... being stationary on a high speed road is not where you want to be.
I understand getting out of the way of an emergency vehicle is important but i have seen idiots nearly hit pedestrians mounting pavements trying to get out of the way. These people are trained to drive fast for a reason. You slow yourself and try to leave a gap.. just stopping hinders their progress if anything!
We get it all the time in the UK some idiot wants to leave the motorway but left it too late so they are stopped in the main lane trying to cut in at the last minuet... that should be illegal.
OF COURSE we use signals! That's one of the reasons, we only use blue lights on what you call "code three". Our emergency vehicles are no opto-acoustic christmas trees ;)
I think it's down to the fact that many police vehicles and ambulances have emergency lights in the rear light units, just like many vehicles in the USA have a dual use for rear lights functioning as indicators as well (something I still don't understand why we allow that on imports here in The Netherlands, I think it should be prohibited).
Indicators are basically non existent that way anymore as it becomes impossible to tell whether it's an emergency light or not.
It also helps we use amber colored turn signals
I don't think they're first responders. I think that's a normal ambulance. It might also be a smaller car which transports a doc the the scene. This would be a rendezvous system where ambulance and doctor meet at the place of emergency (doc only if needed).
In Germany we use turn signals in a normal way when responding. That's for safety reasons. People should have the chance to see where you are going.
It's indeed a regular ambulance built on a mercedes E-class body
I believe the Ambulance their in is a Mercedes E250 CDI (roughly 204hp) and has a specially made ambulance body.
you might be spot on actually.
as former Special vehicles technician close to the dutch Border.
Yes...
czcams.com/video/F27ctNHuyWg/video.htmlsi=hfjoZBbfw4VxSCfW the same ambulance
@@Navy-Seal-Ninja90 as a dutch thats deffinetly it since we dont have other low mercedeses that i know of used as transport, we do have Volvo XC40 and XC90 but those are used for quick hands and the other Mercedes that the ambulance uses are Sprinters
The ambulance comes from Amersfoort and drives past the hospital in Amersfoort and turns right towards Bunschoten-Spakenburg. Just before that, they take the A1 highway towards Baarn/Eemnes. There they leave the highway. Direction Baarn. And then at the roundabout turn right to Kasteel "Groeneveld." 360, back towards Hilversum, inland. My father's family lives in Baarn and I went to school in Amersfoort for 4 years. Greetings from Bunschoten-Spakenburg.
Survival rate in Baarn is very low with such long approach times.
Baarn is called the green graveyard anyway ...
generally across Europe ER vehicles use all the normal signaling devices/lights. The light bars, blue strobes, spotlight are separate sydtems. Sometimes the high beams are flashing, or the fog lights are incorporated into the emergency lights. But brake lights, turn signals, low beam are functional and used.
It’s a Mercedes Benz E-Class Ambulance. You should look those up, they look very cool! Unfortunately they’re disappearing here in the Netherlands. Most have been replaced by the MB Sprinters, which are also cool, but I really liked the old E-Class Ambulances.
With cardiac calls they always send 2 units.
Sometimes one get delayed by trafic or other madness.
And for the return ride they need the second responder in the car with the patient so you need 2 to revive..
I'm a former ambulance driver. I think what they're trying to show at 1:48 is how easy it is to get tunnel vision. You get focused on one vehicle and don't pay so much attention to what else is going on. This can even happen to seasoned drivers sometimes and is something to be aware of.
Yes that was the point of showing us this video by the original poster... as discussed in other posts this was a channel that tried to educate "normal" people about what to expect when encountering an emergency vehicle... from the point of view of the driver of an emergency vehicle
Never ever break when emergency vehicle is coming. Speed up if you have to but move out of the way.
nope, it varies. sometimes speeding up is the best solution, sometimes braking. often stupid decisions by other drivers decide what the best solution is for you.
but right, it's not the best solution to automatically think: blue light = i have to stop.
The wagon ones are emergency doctors. They go to calls where immediate on-site treatment might be required.
not in the Netherlands. we got a nurse based system. not a doctor system.
@@joffryvangrondelleyeah but these people often dont understand our EMT system. As you know our EMTs have much more medical freedom and versatility than their counterparts in other countries.
E 250 CDI (OM 651 ) 204 hp, W 212 Chassis.
09136 Ambulance Utrecht, Mercedes-Benz E 270 CDI visser type 4. 49-SG-DG
The car is Mercedes E class gen W212. It's well, not common, but you can see it as an ambulance station wagon version sometimes in Europe.
7:11 In most of europe, the emergency lights are only on the roof and/or inside on the front and rear windshield, so they can use turn signals properly ( more simply, there is no pattern )
Not sue about the Dutch ones, but In German Emergency Vehicles, the Turning Signals are used. The Flashing emergency lights are only blue, and you can still see the yellow turn signals, which are always yellow and never integrated into the red tail lights. Mostly heavy duty or service vehicles, like Tractors, Harvesters, Garbage trucks or Huge trucks use yellow blinking signals, but only on the roof
RIP Ambuchannel. Good to see someone archived some videos. They had awesome subtitles and text based narration from Robin who is an ambulance driver. Too bad he was forced to pull the videos.
I like your approach of not showing the hole video you're reacting to, to insentivise people to watch the original contant. Very respectful AND respectable !
"That is a weird looking hatchback."
.
Honda Civic: Oh come on! Every friking time!!! I am beautiful dang it!
Too right.
That’s in Amersfoort, that tunnel is always a problem because left and right lane lead to different destinations…
We in Europe often use the "LOLO" principle - In short - don't try to get out of the way unnecessarily. Leave open lanes open and the emergency vehicles will then find their way. If there is no clear lane then you drive out of the way. This is easier for the rescue workers, as they would otherwise have to pay unnecessary attention to maneuvering vehicles.
In Australia. *Ambulance and fire engines are fitted with technology to trigger the traffic light sequences.* The intelligent system uses computer-aided dispatch, GPS and traffic management information to determine the location of the emergency vehicle and the time taken to reach the next set of traffic lights.
That explains a lot (I live near a hospital).
This is most likely an E class Mercedes Ambulance. Basically a normal E class with a larger, taller back.
dount think so than he would hit the first car who closed the gap, must be an emergency doctor, on the normal emergency truck there are "only" emergency sanitarians
@@maiklehmann6100 it's an e class.
@@maiklehmann6100Just Google Dutch E class ambulance, and you'll see what I mean.
Oh yeah I just googled. Interesting, in my country they use normal versions but a normal ambulance is dispatched too. So these Dutch e class function too as first responders? Then with the advantage of also being used as an ambulance ?
Definitely an E-class 250CDI (the dash reveals it), W212 model 2009-2013. It's a heavily changed ambulance though. Look up W212 ambulance netherlands and you'll get a ton of pictures.
I do kinda miss the old three tone siren our ambulances used to have.
So much fun to see that you react on a YT vid of an ambulance that starts from my beautiful hometown Amersfoort, Netherlands. The station wagon is a Ford Mondeo from the early 2000's. The small hatchback is a Fiat Cinquecento from the mid 90's.
Signaling is vital on the road, especially for emergency vehicles. It is a means of communication and the traffic needs to know where you plan to go to preemtively react accordingly. I usually start signaling way earlier when I'm running code 3 compared to normal driving so everybody has enough time to prepare for my next moves.
1:25 it's a 2.2 liter diesel Mercedes E-Class, adapted to an ambulance
Not sure if this is the same in the Netherlands, but here in Belgium we have something called the MUG (mobile urgency group). They are manned by a emergency doctor and emergecy nurse. They usually acompany ambulances when they they have been called to very serious situations, like cardiac arrests. They also drive regular cars, not ambulances because they don't transport patients. Of corse these cars also have lights and sirence, and the same bright colours like an ambulance.
Same in Czechia
Denmark. Ditto.🇩🇰.
Ze kunnen hier een bhv-er (bedrijfshulpverlener) oproepen in geval van nood.
Die kunnen reanimeren
Yeah same in Portugal. They are called INEM, Instituo Nacional de Emergência Médica (National Institute of Medical Emergency). And they are usually the first ones to arrive, aside eventually a police car that was already nearby/ closer. They also operate regular van ambulances, but they operate many several models of cars and also motorcycles. Nurse driving, doctor passenger usually on the radio / phone gathering more information. Then they are supported by iNEM ambulances or local fire department ambulances. Depends on the location.
@@user-kz4ir5ux9f In Danish akutlæge. Emergency doctor.
strange thing is, the location they went to has 2 hospitals (depending on when this video was shot) nearby with an ambulance post. Ter Gooi ziekenhuis/ Gooi Noord ziekenhuis on is right next to the A1 highway they took, just one exit away, (again depending on when it was shot) and the other one a quarter of the distance away of what the ambulance is doing now.
For maps purposes: the ambu went from the center of amersfoort (zonnehof) to Baarn (Zandheuvelweg). one hospital nearer-by in Laren (rijksstraatweg) and the other Hilversum (Laan van tergooi) both have ambulance posts (RAV Gooi en Vechtstreek)
maybe it has to do with zoning? RAVU (ambulance service that was doing the run) is from the province of utrecht and baarn is in the province of utrecht.
RAV gooi en vechtstreek is from the province of Noord Holland..
The problem is that an ambulance has to be available within the covered area the call is made from. If there's no ambulance available, you're out of luck and will have to wait for one from further away. Happened to me 24 years ago when the ambulance had to come from Amsterdam. And as that was pre-satnav era, police from my city was alerted as well to escort them from the border of my city, as they would not have known where to go otherwise.
I've seen these ambulances and it's an E class estate with body conversion to ambulance.
Speaking from experience British police vehicles and Ambulances do have direction indicators that function when on a blue light run, some ambulances also have them included in the light bars, not forgetting trumpton😂 the fire brigade also have functioning indicators.
11:00 it's a seicento and it is a succesor of fiat cinquecento which tou saw in person and shown on video when you were on that polish car meet.
The weird looking hatchback at 8:11 is a Honda Civic 8th generation. The engine of the ambulance car is a diesel. It revs up to 4500rpm and then the gearbox shifts up. 5000rpm is already red area.
As a paramedic and emergency response driver, I gotta have to say that the stress of emergency driving gets more of a really fucused mindset with experience. Been doing this for 15 years.😅 Have seen my fair share of wierd and scary traffic situations over the years. Its interesting to get a view of the rest of Europe.
Probably a V6 diesel.
In Sydney Aust &,I believe a number of other cities here,they use motorcycle medics for cardiac & serious cases as they can get to site quickly.The ambulance still responds & will take the patient to hospital.The faster bikes can mean life over death.
at 4:27, that's a Ford Mondeo and at 10:57, that's a Fiat Seicento
Also, if you look closely, he used the turn signal...but the lever is the LOWER left one...not sure what is the upper left lever then...maybe left lower is the turn signal/light, upper left is the wiper and right one is the gears, if it's automatic....
As for the engine, my guess it's petrol, maybe even an AMG
Correct, and it hit the curb stone quite badly. I always hated such situations - you dont want to hinder the emergency services, but often its hard to find the best solution.
Yup, I was about to say it was Mondeo
Thought it was a Lancia Y10
The upper lever is the cruise control.
It's an e class, so the upper lever is cruise control. And it's definitely a diesel, not a petrol. Just Google Dutch E class ambulance.
Diesel engines are not faster, but they have more torque at low and medium revolutions, and greater range per liter
They can be, but the emissions has slowing down the technology to do that, they now are more focused in emissions results than go faster. Since diesel common rail injectors, diesel cars had a boom in speed and came very closer to gasoline cars in speed or performance.
For all intense and purposes a diesel ambulance is faster. An ambulance is not driven like a personal car. There are many stops and go or slow downs followed by strong acceleration. Diesels excel in this scenario.
@@pintiliecatalin I mean true, but most emergency vehicles are not pushed to the limit of their capabilities, so the most important thing should be range, because they don't need to be refueled as often
@@garbage2882 Diesel is top dog in range also..
@@pintiliecatalin that's what I meant
Most of the ambulance may not be driven with a B (> 3500 kg like a small truck..that is why its a diesel. and the drivers are specialist drivers.
10:00 diesels have more torque at low rpm but sarcifice some hp for that in the high range(which regular people dont use) its why a lot of trucks rpm counter only goes to 3000. idk what rpm the mercedes e class diesel revs, so that means they are quick of the line and can tow easier(which is perfect for an ambulance since the Netherlands is densely populated)
but like others have said this Mercedes E Class is converted to ambulance(looks amazing irl)
and the starting point is RAVU Amersfoort Centrum, a Ambulance parking place close/in the center of Amersfoort a city with about 125k population they also drove past the main hospital of Amersfoort(Meander Medisch Centrum) at 5:30
it ends near north eastern Baarn
With a cardiac arrest they send multiple teams for the CPR reason. Both Driver and passenger are also doctors down here. The police do have an dedicated driver but they do also help With patients. All emergency vehicles are diesel. The small car is a car for people that only go shopping in it city cars. The gray focus was a station wagon but we dont call em wagon. We dot have the Taurus. The normal ambulance vans are always VW's There are some exeptions for extra trauma doctors they sometimes have Mercedes. These are called when they are not sure if they can do certain things like amputations. If they can they want to save your limbs. I once almost got in to a head on with a leaving ambulance i had a blind corner and they did not yet use the alarm sound. They swerved in to my side of the road.
the Netherlands has a nurse based ambulance system map no doctors needed. every ALS ambulance crew consists of one driver EMT and one specialized ambulance nurse
I once had to carefully run a red light at a busy intersection with my heavy truck to let an ambulance pass. There was no other option. Fortunately all other road users were on the same page... It was a tense moment for sure.
It being Netherlands, I was surprised that they had to go through so much red lights. Thought the system would create a green lane for an emergency vehilce. Obvously it's not implemented everywhere yet.
They just run the red.
Hello Ian, even if you can hardly believe it, but there was actually a diesel engine from AMG, namely the C30 CDI AMG. At the time, the model was based on the W203 and its 5-cylinder OM 612 diesel engine and had 2950cc and a good 231 hp and 540 Nm of torque. This allowed the vehicle to accelerate to 100km/h / 60 mph in just under 6.8 seconds. This meant that the engine installed in the C-Class was almost as powerful as the V8 CDI diesels with 4 liters of displacement in the E-, G- and S-Classes.
On the radio they keep mentioning the "pannenkoekenhuis" - the pancake house, a famous dutch restaurant. Reading about a cardiac arrest in NL, i immediately thought: someone had a few too many of those super nice but sugery/fatty pancakes. Glad they were able to help the person
At 3:31 we can wonderfully see how the traffic light jumps from yellow to red and then immediately jumps to green :)
@IWrocker, turn signals operate in Australia on all Emergency Services vehicles. I also think the wagon turning left stopped where he did because he realised that it was a safer area for the EMS to overtake there where there was not a lot of oncoming traffic in the adjoining lane (yes, there were cars coming in the opposite direction, but they would have had little chance to pass the wagon further up due to the traffic and it being a single lane).
This is called a Mercedes-Binz Ambulance. Based on a stretched E class Mercedes. This vehicle is now decommissioned and replaced with a Mercedes Sprinter Ambulance. czcams.com/video/Vfo6r2lTbfk/video.html&ab_channel=mt_Benz140 this is a video made by the buyer of one of them after being decommissioned. They were very fast and nimble vehicles. For reference they reached a speed of 105 Mph in this video. The room inside was deemed too small for modern Ambulances and with the improved speed of the vans no longer needed.
The vehicle that they're driving is a Mercedes E-Class ambulance, considering the "unit number" is 09-136. Which means this is the region of Utrecht (they were the only region using mainly E-class ambulances years ago)
Pretty sure they not just first responders but the ambulance. You normally only send one ambulance for a cardiac arrest.
Drivers in western Europe generally have much more training than those in the USA, including how to react in emergency situations
Learning to drive from parents or other acquaintances is simply not enough.
A driving instructor (profession via further training) is at least 21 years old and has completed 12-15 months of additional training (after the actual vocational training), depending on the driving license class. As part of the additional training,
pedagogy/didactics; technology; (traffic) law are taught.
The number of compulsory hours for a driving license can vary depending on the driving license class and type of training. Here is some important information:
Compulsory practical hours:
During the initial training, at least 12 compulsory driving hours must be completed. These are made up of the following:
5 driving hours overland
4 driving hours on the motorway
3 driving hours in the dark
Each driving hour is 45 minutes1.
Compulsory theoretical hours:
The number of theory hours varies depending on the driving license class:
One theory hour is 90 minutes. At least 12 + 2 = 14 teaching units are required.
Emergency vehicles have additional flashing lights, usually blue.
They also turned on the low beam headlights.
The other lights work like on all other vehicles.
Strange and serious issue is - from 10:47 on - they are not sure where the incident actually happened and take a 360 on the roundabout.
I listened the original video (as im Dutch and actually live in Baarn, which is the destination of this ambulance) and found out thry eere actually looking and confused about the right place to go.
Then when they found out, they got the message that the crew of another ambulance, which arrived earlier, had everything under control and these guys assistance was no longer needed.
That's when they switch of the signals and turn left. Actually, 100m before the incident spot.
10:53 that's a FIAT Seicento ("Six Hundred") presumably with a 900ccm engine. The sporiter versions came with a 1100ccm engine. Pretty cool little beast 🙂
Of course they use their turn signals. You got that one wrong.
5:19 The ford is a ford mondeo it also could not go out of the way in this case hence why the ambu also slowed down waited and then moved around
This is an old video. The ambulance in this film has not been used for years, nor have the uniforms
at 10:50 i had two of same years ago. Funny little cars. If the back seat is flat, a washing machine and dryer fit in there 😅 When I was still single, this was very practical when moving between two rental apartments
The English name for this would be flying doctors, they have more medical training than a standard paramedic ambulance crew. The crew consists of two people a trained rapid response driver and a doctor in the passenger seat.
At 10:52 that is a Fiat Seicento (Italian for 600) the name was later change to the Fiat 600.
Since you like little hatchbacks so much, I live in The Netherlands and I drive a Citroen C2 VTR, it is a little 1.6 Litre 16v with a semi automatic paddle shift. The semi auto is essentially a sequential 5 speed manual with a servo activated clutch and servo activated shifting so it has no clutch pedal. You can leave it in auto mode and let it do all the shifting or you can switch it to manual mode and shift either with the sequential shifter on the floor or the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.
The car is an Ambulance type BLS, its an rebuild mercedes E-class to transport patients
If you google ambulance 09136 (number on the dash) it’s a Mercedes E class. It’s an older video, those are almost all replaced by Mercedes sprinter vans
You are right , it's an high speed emergency veicule. Usually with a team of two , a nurse with defensive driving formation and an MD. The car is fully equipped for emergency response and the idea is to be first on the scene and stabilize the victim until the ambulance or the helicopter arrive. Here in Portugal the most common model is the VW Passat ... diesel :).
BTW you can take the defensive/evasive driving course in a lot of driving schools but if you want the real deal the best ones are given by the police but it's a bit expensive and hard to get in.
no its a full ambulance, although still high speed emergency vehicle as all ambulances are. do a google search for dutch mercedes E class ambulance. (more countries use E-Class ambulances though)
( Yes at 8:48 that was a Peugeot, the " newer ones " have a " signature " 3 diagonal bars tail light the ideia is to remember cat claws, they have the same signature style on the front lighs ).
And yes mate ( knowing what to do bit ) as you know for most of Europe you need to get driving lessons, as in going to a driving school, having " x " amount of mandatory " Traffic laws " classes, and then " y " amount of mandatory driving classes, so yes, we get pummeled since the start with " you hear the " tinoni tinoni tinoni with preety lighs behind you YOU GO TO THE FURTHEST RIGHT LANE lol, and let the " preety lighs tinoni " pass you.
Usually there are numerous models per brand, offering various gas and diesel engines with a broad power spectrum. For the car model I am currently using, the engine options cover about 10 gas and diesel engines from ca. 160 hp to 600 hp.
10:17 the reason why diesels are used is because they're more durable under this kind of load...also, they have way more torque than the equivalent gas engine...and I guess that's what you want, rather than just pure speed, in a heavy vehicle like this one
2nd car to get in the way is a ford mondeo estate. I think its a mk 3. We had loads of these in the uk, the saloons and hatchbacks were way more common however.
9:25 it's not a 'car', it's a typical Dutch ambulance. A Mercedes Benz Sprinter, which is more of a van.
Nope, it was an E class.
It was the old 09-136. Old video from a retired channel
We have similar here in the UK, fast response paramedic, often a fully trained ICU doctor that will be sent out when time is of the essence. Their preferred weapon of choice is usually a performance diesel estate (wagon) due to the gear they need to carry. There will also be a regular ambulance dispatched at the same time.
This is/was an ambulance though. A mercedes e class that's modified to have a passenger in the back. They are not used anymore sadly.
@@kempo_95 In the UK we have never had anything like that, just fast response cars. Once the patient is stabilized they can be transferred to hospital in an ambulance or air ambulance. Sounds like that was the best of both worlds. Cutbacks over life again by the sounds of things, it like that the world over.
@@markmundy3435 These ambulance cars were faster so that's why they were used. But because they have limited space in the back, treating a patient in the ambulance was difficult with 2 people, they have been replaced with Sprinters.
At 4:30 that’s a Mondeo, so the European Ford Fusion as a wagon :)
You can hear him just turned the signal (down with his left hand) for turning left and afterwards the clicking sound. 9:25
Just maintain your speed and see if you can get out of the way safely and otherwise, they will find their way through. That is what every emergency worker is always saying in the Netherlands
This is gonna shock you, but I asked what engine was in the vehicles on one of Ambuchannel's original videos on his original channel, and he said it was actually a four-cylinder diesel with around 200 horsepower!
Too many drivers simply panic when they see/hear a siren and stop quickly without working out the logistics of where they're stopping. I've many a time spotted the blue lights and pulled over only to have another driver stop directly opposite me, thus leaving too small a gap, or as the driver at 4:12, they pull up next to an obstacle. I live on what I call a blue light corridor - a major route between two towns, leading to an A&E (Accident and Emergency Hospital) and I see at least 20 Emergency Service Vehicles on blues every day if I'm working from home, and very often one or two when I'm driving - so we get used to not only looking for the blue lights but also planning the response. You'd be amazed how many drivers just don't see the ESV until they're almost on top of them, then they panic. It should be part of driving instruction for all drivers and some element of it in the driving test - it might only be a question, but the training needs to be there.
I'm always impressed by Dutch and German drivers in this respect. This clip did show a couple of poor responses though, but mostly very good.
i saw that car on the right he was on the phone an d this was a real ambulance
Actually i believe this is a Merc E class estate with higher than normal back end... they dont use these anymore because of the limited interior room...
this video starts near the center of Amersfoort(if im correct, RAVU Amersfoort Centrum), i life near Amersfoort so i was wondering why it looked so familiar and then i noticed the Eemplein tunnels
The ambulance was a Mercedes Benz E-class and a diesel engine.
It's a full ambulance but they are all taken out of service due to the age and the fact of the low working space in the back.
These where very low a regular person cant stand up right inthe back
There is a thing called 'Turbo Diesel'.
If it is right what somebody said below, and it is a Mercedes E250 CDI, then it is a Diesel direct injection machine with exhaust turboloader, going top speed 238 km/h at 204 hp.
The Ford in that one scene is a Ford Mondeo Station Wagon ;-)
Thia IS a Mercedes Benz E Class 250 CDI with a 205 Horse Power and 500 NM.
That little thing was a FIAT Seicento.
It is very likely, that in this small car, there is the emergency doctor, while the other paramedics drive on an ambulance.
At least in Germany, there is rarely an emergency doctor on the ambulance, as they are rarely needed on the spot.
But if they are needed, they have their own small car to be quick on the spot.
nooe. Netherlands only has a doctor in the mobile medical team. the ALS ambulances are staffed with one driver emt and one specialized ambulance nurse like in this video .
It's a Mercedes Ambulance, E 250CDI, so 2,5 liters, 204 hp, 500 Nm (370 ft-lbs), which is more important in this case. 0-100 kmph (60mph) might be similar to my E-class (E220 but ligher) and is around 8 second normally? The vehicle has a specially made chassis and build. I don't know if this one has 1,9m headroom but that definitely was the case for earlier models. Looks funky
haha, you adjusted your headphones and I was thinking.. Keep you hands on the wheel. I get into these driving video's a bit much.
Turnsignals on Emergency vehicles work and are in use, at least here in Germany.
Emergency medical vehicles other them the "vans" are fast response units, they are dispatched when the problem is life threatning and they're full equiped to deal with everything and are driven by urgency doctors or advanced skill paramedics.
But on the video is a regular ambulance, a sort of streched station wagon, i know the former channel Ambuchannel, he had the most amazing videos and what i loved was the tips he had for people how to handle traffic... i personally learned a lot and made me a better driver.
1:45 In europe always assume its a diesel... cause diesel is king here, amazing milage and lower prices.
4:30 Ford Mondeo wagon
6:45 Usually, besides the light bars equipament, what strobes are the high beams and front fog lights, the turn signs are free and mandatory to be used.
8:10 Its an Honda Civic
8:30 Gray car its a Peugeot 308
10:06 Since theres plenty of hills and curvs, diesel engines have more strenght at lower rpms, so they're the standard on the road. Its very rare to see gasoline cars, other them the smaller ones.
11:00 Thats the restyle version of the yellow little Fiat Cinquecento (500) you saw on the car meet. Theres even 2 sport versions of those. The restyle was called seiscento (600).
That small car you didn’t recognise is probably a Fiat Cinquecento. I saw one in your yesterday’s video with all the Polski Fiats.
The Ford is a Mondeo Wagon Mk3 (2000-2007)
11:00 If that's a Suzuki Alto I had one and hated it. After a year of driving like I'm in a rally the engine was hanging on with one bolt and both front shock absorbers had gone trough their mountings. It's only for four persons.
The little car who is sparkling youre guts is a fiat siqusento! One of the only cars that you can push with one foot al your pedals! Clutch,brake and gas 😂
@iWrocker @10:35 you can hear the turnsignal, they have to use it like all "normal" cars too.
@11:12 its a Fiat Seicento
Hello there, emergency vehicles in Czech republic always use turn signals also ;) more you know :)
I would say it is important especially for emergency vehicles to use turn signals.
11:00 it is a fiat Seicento from the late 90s early 2000
Ford Mondeo...Use to own one.
Take a look at a video called 'The Liver Run'. It's an older video but still quite interesting. It shows the police transferring a transplant organ (the eponymous liver) to a hospital in London where the recipient was in the operating theatre being prepped. If the liver didn't get there within a certain time, it would no longer be suitable for transplant.
