AUTOSMODS builds ambulances to order on Ford Transit T8 (V363) van and JMC Baodian 4x4 pickup chassis: transport, monitoring, intensive-care and negative-pressure isolation layouts, each engineered with oxygen, suction, inverter power and cabin lighting, and inspected against a 21-point factory checklist before shipment. Orders start from a single unit, and the final specification is agreed against your market's homologation rules.

Ambulance procurement really comes down to three questions: will the vehicle be registrable in your country, does the cabin layout support the treatments your crews actually perform, and can the builder repeat the same build quality across a fleet. Our export team works backwards from the mission profile — destination market, crew size, patient volume, road conditions and the equipment you already own — then matches it to a chassis and a cabin.
Every conversion starts from a base vehicle rather than a cut-and-shut body. The Ford Transit T8 (V363) gives a high, flat-floored box with a wide side door for stretcher handling. The JMC Baodian 4x4 pickup is used where the road ends before the patient does. Electrical architecture is integrated with the OEM system rather than tapped onto it, so warning, lighting and climate systems behave predictably over the vehicle's service life.
Each configuration is a starting point — equipment, layout and finish are set per order.
Stretcher, two attendant seats, oxygen and suction. The workhorse layout for municipal EMS fleets and inter-facility transfers where clinical load is low but availability matters.
Adds patient monitoring, infusion mounts and a wider working aisle so a paramedic can attend while the vehicle is moving. Specified by services running pre-hospital critical care.
Full ICU capability in a van body: ventilator, multi-parameter monitor, infusion pumps, dedicated power and a sealed clinical compartment. Built for neonatal and high-acuity transfers.
An isolated cabin held at controlled negative pressure, with HEPA filtration and directional airflow so contaminated air leaves through the filter rather than the crew compartment.
The same chassis carries different bodies depending on who operates it and what the duty cycle looks like.
Standardised builds repeated across a fleet, with a common spare-parts list so depot maintenance stays simple.
Lower-acuity transport, where running cost and availability matter more than equipment density.
4x4 pickup-based ambulances for roads a full-size van cannot take, including seasonal and unpaved routes.
Negative-pressure units for outbreak response, screening and patient movement during infectious-disease events.
A selection from this line. Every unit is re-engineered to your specification.

Box-type conversion on the Ford Transit T8 chassis. Transport, monitoring and intensive-care layouts with oxygen, suction and inverter systems.

Isolated cabin with controlled negative pressure and HEPA filtration — the design delivered in China's first national batch in 2020.

Compact 4x4 ambulance for rural roads, rough tracks and narrow urban lanes where a full-size van cannot operate.

Export documentation and loading
Transport, monitoring, intensive-care and negative-pressure isolation ambulances on Ford Transit T8 (V363) vans, plus compact 4x4 ambulances on the JMC Baodian pickup. The catalogue shows representative builds — every unit is configured to the buyer's own specification.
Drive configuration, lighting standards and equipment are agreed at contract stage against your market's registration and homologation requirements. Send us the destination country and we will confirm what is feasible before you commit.
One unit. Fleet buyers usually start with a single evaluation vehicle, then place a repeat order once the build has been accepted.
Lead time depends on chassis availability and how far the specification departs from a catalogued layout, and it is fixed in the contract. In practice chassis supply, not body building, is the longer constraint.
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, chassis and body documentation, and the conformity paperwork your market requires — the exact list is agreed at contract stage.
An ambulance price is driven by the chassis, the layout and the equipment list. Quoting a number before those are fixed misleads buyers, so we price against a defined configuration instead.
Straight answers from our engineering and export teams.
An ambulance is quoted per configuration, never from a list price. The chassis usually accounts for 35-50% of the…
ComplianceCan you build an ambulance to EN 1789?Yes. EN 1789 is the European standard for medical vehicles and ambulances, and it can be used as the design basis for…

Destination country, crew size, patient load and the equipment you already own — that is enough for us to come back with a costed configuration.
