| 摘要： | VCS has developed a dual crewed ambulance (DCA) with a reduced ' weight that will enter service with West Midlands Ambulance Service. According to VCS, weight savings have been achieved with the introduction of a low-mass loading ramp, while lightweight composites have also been utilised in the vehicle's interior cabinets, panelling and flooring. Further reductions in mass come from replacing standard-fitment OEM exterior glass with a lightweight alternative. Revisions to the DCA's electrical systems are claimed to have yielded gains in lightweighting, as well as vehicle and manufacturing performance. A new modular electrical harness is expected to save weight and reduce complexity, reducing assembly time. Meanwhile, lithium-ion technology and revised battery management systems are said to further reduce weight. The DCA also features solutions from emergency services technology specialist Acetech, including a new integrated electronic control system that allows fleet managers to track key medical assets coded to the vehicle and draw upon customisable system telematics. Also fitted is a 3D surround camera designed with Vue. |
