AST and Citroen

Citroen Commercial has supplied the AST Ambulance Service,one of the UK’s leading suppliers of specialist medical equipment, with two specially converted Relay bariatric ambulances and one Dispatch-based bariatric support vehicle. The Relay ambulances will be used to carry patients weighing more than 318kg (50 stone) or more.

The Relay model is based on the 35 L3H2 120 panel van, is expected to last four years and cover over 100,000 miles. The Dispatch 20HDI support vehicle, which also carries a wide range of medical equipment is also expected to have a similar life.

AST already has a 26 company fleet including Citroen C5 ambulance cars and expects to add further Citroen vehicles to its fleet.
