The international provider of ambulance services won the public tender by the Spanish region of Catalonia and will now use a total of over 340 Sprinters to guarantee mobile emergency and safe patient transport services in three districts in the Catalan metropolis of Barcelona.

The 344 Sprinter 313 CDI and 316 CDI for the Falck Group are all equipped with the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission to reduce fuel consumption emissions.

A total of 120 of the 344 Sprinter panel vans will be equipped with medical equipment and classified as emergency ambulances according to the EN 1789 European standard. Meanwhile 224 Sprinter will be converted to patient transport ambulances by Spanish bodybuilders.

The Falck Group, which based in Copenhagen, provides mobile ambulance services for local populations on behalf of the public authorities in 19 countries. In Denmark the company has been successfully using the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as an ambulance for several years now.
