It’s been several weeks since our first electric ambulance prototype began running tests on the track. We want to make sure that the eFXs chassis is both durable and reliable.
This test was designed to demonstrate the vehicle’s mechanical and electrical robustness
components by pushing them to their limit. The tests are a way to also help validate some functions of the integrated software.
As we run through test after test, the prototype is faced with high-intensity shocks and vibrations on an aging track, stress-testing components to identify and address potential failures.
These test are a crucial part of the research process to make sure the ambulance performs to industry standards and can hold up to real-life situations out in the field.
What better way to test the driving experience than to bring on our very own team members with paramedic experience? Bernard Tremblay and Gary Masson had the chance to take the wheel of our prototype. We were extremely pleased with their reaction.
This is their feedback: impressive acceleration, a comfortable adaptive suspension, and unparalleled maneuverability.
The testing will continue until the first delivery, so the end result is an impressive, innovative vehicle that you can trust, worthy of supporting our talented paramedics out on the road.
