The Ford Transit Diesel Ambulance is built on the 2023-series New Transit made by Jiangling Motors in China: a mid-wheelbase, mid-roof van with a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel (105 kW, 143 PS) and China VI emissions. Our standard build is a monitoring-type ambulance — the configuration hospitals use for patients who need observation and treatment during transport — and it can be specified as BLS, ICU or negative-pressure instead. Front-wheel drive keeps the floor low and the turning radius at 6.5 metres, which matters in dense city traffic. Buyers choose between a 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic (up to 355 N·m). We export it new, in white, left-hand drive as standard, quoted FOB or CIF to your port.
This is the model behind our main spec sheet: the New Transit mid-wheelbase, mid-roof diesel, converted to a monitoring-type ambulance. Monitoring type is the Chinese classification for an ambulance equipped to observe and treat a patient on the move, as opposed to a basic transfer vehicle.
The base vehicle is a current-production van, not a modified truck. That keeps parts and service simple: the 2.0T diesel and the gearboxes are shared with the passenger and cargo versions of the same van.
Diesel remains the practical choice for most export markets. Fuel is available everywhere, range is long, and the 80-litre tank covers a full shift without refuelling. Published fuel use for the base van is 7.6 L/100 km (manual) and 8.3 L/100 km (automatic); a converted ambulance with equipment and a crew will use more.
Because the medical module is fitted to order, you are not limited to the standard layout. Tell us what your service needs to carry, and the converter's layout and equipment list come back with the quotation for your approval before anything is built.
