ACC Medlink’s New Look Mercedes Sprinter Van!
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (PRWEB)
December 23, 2019
ACC Medlink has purchased three 2020 Mercedes Sprinters that will be added to the already immense fleet of long distance medical transport vehicles. These vehicles will help add to an already “Green” fleet. “We’re excited to retire one of our longest running medical transport vehicles that has officially accumulated over one million miles. It will be replaced by one of the three new vehicles we’ve purchased. We are recognized as the largest Non-Emergency Medical Transportation company in the U.S.” said Michael Peat, CEO.
ACC has been providing long distance medical transportation to thousands of customers over the last 12 years. Their fleet is available 24/7 in every city and state across the contiguous U.S. for state to state medical transportation. Similar to how a hospital will upgrade their equipment, they feel it’s necessary to upgrade the transportation vehicles when the time comes. ACC Medlink strives to put safety and comfort above all else. The 2020 Mercedes Sprinter has the BlueTEC system which was created to improve vehicle performance and economy while lowering emissions. One of the BlueTEC components include AdBlue, which is a liquid solution injected into the exhaust. “When this is done, the liquid converts nitrogen oxide emissions into harmless nitrogen and oxygen, greatly reducing the emissions output”. These vehicles are incredibly spacious and have the feel of luxury, while also being better for the environment. Some companies utilize recreation vehicles (RVs) for their long distance medical transport, and these vehicles have higher emissions and are proven unsafe when compared to ACC’s fleet of vehicles.
Fuel economy, with a focus on green emissions, seems like it might only be beneficial to ACC Medlink, but it’s helpful for the patient on board. The goal is a safe and quick transport to their destination. The BlueTEC Clean Diesel technology helps make this a reality. “Almost every BlueTEC equipped vehicle offers a fuel economy that is six to eight miles per gallon better than equivalent gasoline-powered vehicles”. This allows for less gas-stops and more on-road time.
ACC Medlink makes modifications to the entire inside of the van for complete comfort during the long distance transport. Three beds and two captains chairs are in the back so multiple passengers can accompany their loved ones. An inspection service runs a crash simulation on the structural integrity of the materials used inside of the Mercedes Sprinter. They check the strength of the bed-plate welding, fittings, chairs, and other items in the back of the van. The goal of the inspections are to ensure that the modifications provide the safest possible vehicle for ACC Medlink customers. Since safety is the number one priority, they take the extra steps to ensure the safety of all passengers aboard their medical transport vehicles. ACC Medlink can be contacted at 1-800-550-1025.
