Why Mustang Mach-E is the Perfect Fast Response Unit for Paramedics

Dec 19, 2023

LONDON, UK – Last week, @Ford explained why London Ambulance Service chose Mach-E over other EVs, and why it makes the perfect zero-emission fast response vehicle.

When Marek Lowicz-Brady puts on his London Ambulance Service uniform ahead of a 12-hour shift as a paramedic working solo in a fast response car, he has no idea what to expect. Like any big city, London is a place where anything can happen at any moment, and he must be prepared to make split second decisions that could save a life.

To get to incidents as quickly as possible 42 Fast Response Unit (FRU) vehicles are used by paramedics at London Ambulance Service, all of which are specially adapted Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles. Marek uses one of those, taking most of the kit found in an ambulance with him as he uses the agility and performance of the Mustang Mach-E to cut through the city traffic.

Check out this video which follows Marek around London as he uses the Ford Mustang Mach-E to reach those in need of help.

Aside from the performance credentials, the cars were also chosen for their ability to complete a full shift without needing to be recharged, saving valuable time while also helping to reduce the fleet’s total CO2 emission. But for Marek and his colleagues the most important thing is getting to patients quickly, using their skill, judgement and training to make a difference at the critical time.

“You're reliant on your own intuition, you're reliant on your own decision making,” he explains. “I think you are exposed to a lot of chaos, a lot of very rapidly changing, quite dynamic scenes, but you have to respond quickly, appropriately and rationally.”
