PRESS RELEASE
VAN WERT, Ohio — Demers Ambulances, a global leader in Type I, II, and III ambulance manufacturing, is now offering the new MXP 170DFE Type I ambulance model with a door-forward design engineered to optimize safety, operational efficiency, and patient care for progressive EMS/Fire departments.
Designed with first responders in mind, the MXP 170DFE features a curbside door-forward layout that enables first responders to easily access life-saving equipment while remaining seated and secured, reducing risks during emergency responses. The thoughtfully engineered interior reduces congestion, keeps workflows smooth, and ensures crews can fully focus on patient care, even during high-volume, high-stress situations.
“The MXP 170DFE is a clear representation of our commitment to building intelligent ambulances and vehicles that truly address the evolving needs of EMS professionals,” said Kris Turner, U.S. Channel Development Director for Demers Ambulances. “If it feels like this ambulance was built with your crew in-mind, it is! We applied direct industry feedback to develop this door-forward design and advanced systems. We focused on further enhancing responder safety while improving operational workflow, and providing agencies with a reliable, innovative solution for high-demand environments.”
Intentionally built for high-volume EMS/Fire operations, the MXP 170DFE offers industry-leading storage solutions with durable exterior compartments featuring dual seals to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, the integrated high-visibility flush-mounted windows are designed to prevent leaks, reduce repair costs, and enhance safety and visibility during emergency response operations.
Inside, customizable cabinetry meets the diverse needs of departments while maintaining clear, organized spaces for critical equipment. The innovative dual HVAC ducted diffusion system provides separate hot and cold air channels, ensuring consistent patient comfort in all climates.
Supporting operational efficiency and long-term fleet management, the MXP 170DFE features EcoSmart technology, which reduces fuel consumption and minimizes environmental impact. Paired with the Multiplex Modular Connected (MMC) electrical system, which offers remote diagnostics and customizable programming, the MXP 170DFE provides crews with the necessary equipment and insights to empower their fleet.
Engineered for municipal, hospital, private EMS, fire, and critical-care applications, the Demers MXP 170DFE is available on Ford F-450/F-550 and Ram 4500/5500 chassis (gas and diesel). It features a 170" length x 95" width module with 72" interior headroom for an optimized working environment that puts responder and patient safety first.
