Environmental Benefits of Ambulance Remounts
Ambulance remounts are a practical and eco-friendly solution that is gaining popularity among fleet operators. It provides significant environmental benefits by reducing the need for new vehicle production and minimizing waste, making it a key strategy in promoting sustainability. When ambulance services choose to remount their vehicles instead of purchasing new ones, they are actively contributing to the reduction of raw material consumption, energy use, and emissions associated with manufacturing new ambulances.
A Green Initiative
Manufacturing new ambulances requires a significant number of raw materials, such as steel, aluminium, and plastic, and involves processes that generate considerable energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Ambulance remounting involves the process of upgrading an existing ambulance, replacing the vehicle’s chassis while keeping the same patient compartment but replacing or enhancing key components. Crestline’s remounting services are designed to breathe new life into aging ambulances, ensuring they meet the latest safety and medical standards, while drastically cutting down the environmental impact. Remounting utilizes the existing ambulance structure, ensuring that fewer resources are consumed.
*Important note: A remount is not a refurbishment program. The remount program integrates a new chassis and new components to ensure new technology is deployed, that ensures that the vehicle is safe and reliable for operation for another 4 to 5 years of service.
Minimizing Waste
Ambulance remounts also help minimizing waste. Instead of discarding entire ambulances, which may still have plenty of life left certain components, remounting allows fleet managers to reuse key parts while upgrading or replacing only the necessary elements. This approach significantly cuts down on the waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, as older vehicle parts are re-integrated into the remounted ambulances. By reusing components and preventing the disposal of large vehicle structures, ambulance sevices significantly lower the environmental impact of their fleet operations and save on costs.
Energy Efficiency and Lower Emissions
The process of building a new vehicle from scratch requires substantial energy input, from sourcing materials to manufacturing and assembly. Remounting, on the other hand, requires considerably less energy, as it involves updating existing structures rather than creating new ones.
