When it comes to an AEV ambulance, our standards are anything but. With countless ways to build your ambulance that will cater to your crew’s needs, exceed safety standards and answer the community’s call, the only way you’ll find two ambulances alike is if you ask for it.
We Start with a Feasibility Study
At AEV, the buying process is a one-on-one experience that starts with a feasibility study. From custom conveniences for your crew to paint schemes unique to your fleet, no detail is ignored. Even with all that effort, we still offer some of the industry’s best lead times.
A Detailed Visual Manufacturing Process
Starting with an exclusive Mickey-manufactured body, AEV builds each custom unit using a detailed visual process—a board stocked with parts and tools specific to that ambulance to ensure we meet your every spec.
