HOWELL TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Howell Township Police Department’s EMS crews will be riding in a new state of the art ambulance that was delivered recently after being approved by the township council.
The ambulance is a 2022 Ford F-550 XLT 7.3 V8 ambulance with an AEV Traumahawk patient compartment. It was custom designed and built by VCI Emergency Sales.
According to the Howell Police Department, the new ambulance features 4 and 5 point safety restraints for occupants and patients, a Stryker Powerload stretcher system, and a state of the art UV AIR filtration disinfectant system built into the patient compartment to provide added protection for occupants from airborne viruses and contaminants.
The rear compartment passenger restraint system has airbags built into the harness system for added protection and liquid spring suspension for a smooth ride, the department said.
