We’ll have some beautiful units on display with great features like the new MasterTech FleetConnect. We’ll also be educating visitors on what it means to be fully compliant with Change Notice 10. It will be a great opportunity for customers old and new to ask questions about ambulance safety, our products, and the benefits the merger will have for them.”

As with all of Braun’s ambulances, this vehicle features Braun’s exclusive EZ Glide Door for enhanced on-scene safety and SolidBody Construction for a lighter, yet safer module.

A Golight is mounted to the cab roof for on-scene illumination, and inside the module visitors will find a patient camera monitoring system and Norcold refrigerator.
The second ambulance on display will be a Type I Express Plus from Read Mountain Fire & Rescue in Roanoke County, Virginia. Built on a Ford F450 4x4, this unit features a LiquidSpring suspension for a smoother, safer ride. A Whelen TAL85 traffic advisor low profile light bar enhances visibility on the exterior of the unit. Inside, visitors will find a custom interior with a cabinet at the head of the squad bench, as well as glove holders at the rear doors.
The last unit on display will be a Type I Express Plus on a Ford F-450 4x4 chassis. This demo unit will feature the newest innovation from Braun, MasterTech FleetConnect.
