Here's one from Toyko, Japan. I believe that it is based on a Toyota Hiace van.
Notice the shoes. I wonder what that's all about?
Another view of a Toyko unit.
Regarding japanese EMS, I have heard that they are about at the same level the US was in the 1960's! I don't know if this is true or...
IMO, motorcycles as first response units only make sense in the most crowded of city central business districts. London, with its narrow, crowded streets is ideally suited for motorcycles.
Other cities, especially in Asia, such as Toyko, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the like, are also...
So have I! In fact, the SMART Car is due to go on sale here in the US next year. At 60+mpg, I have a hunch that Chrysler is going to sell everyone they can get into the US. Besides, they are so ugly, they're cute! Or so says my wife. She just asked me if she could have one.

GREETINGS!
(Don't worry, this is not a draft notice! (Anyone remember those?!)
I am a one time Basic EMT, who is not licensed any more because of a wrecked shoulder. I just cannot carry those larger-than-life patients any more. I can't even carry the small one either! It bites, let me tell ya...
Actually, my wife found it, and brought it to my attention. She'll be joining up tomorrow. She's busy watching a Harry Potter movie for the umpteenth time right now. :D
I have been searching for photos of pre-1975 ems and ambulance photos for a project that I have been working on, a history of the development of the ambulance from 1750 the present.
I desperately need photos taken prior to 1975. Any type of ambulance will do, just as long as the photo is...
