At North Central Emergency Vehicles, we are always looking for ways to improve our product and service offerings to better deliver on our customers' needs. When it became apparent that there were certain types of specialty vehicles that weren't supplied by the manufacturers we represented, we got to work in creating and customizing specialty vehicles ourselves. We had the expertise and the equipment, so why not put them to good use to provide our EMS and fire professionals the specialty vehicles that they required?

In the past, we have manufactured in-house many Type II ambulances mounted on Freightliner, Dodge, or Mercedes Sprinter vans.  Most of these Type II ambulances that we built featured a 170” wheelbase, something that a lot of other ambulance manufacturers were not producing at the time. The deliveries on these specialty Type II ambulances ranged from Minnesota to New Jersey and Florida.  The development of these vehicles got us started on customizing in-house and expanded our resources and skill set, which we have applied to our current line of offerings for other specialty type vehicles in the EMS, fire, and police industries.

Wondering what kind of specialty vehicles we have had a hand in producing? Check out our list below as well as example photos from our project vault.
