Remounting vs New

 Remounting an ambulance involves transferring an existing patient module onto a new chassis, typically saving 25%–50% in costs and cutting lead times in half compared to buying new. While new ambulances offer the latest technology and longest lifespan, remounts provide a sustainable, cost-effective, and fast-turnaround option that restores full reliability to a trusted, familiar module. 

 Remounting an Ambulance

• Cost Savings: Typically 30%–50% cheaper, with savings of 40-60% reported.
• Faster Turnaround: Lead times are often 90–120 days compared to 1–2+ years for new units.
• Sustainability: Reuses the existing, structurally sound box, lowering environmental impact.
• Familiarity: Keeps the same layout your crew is accustomed to, reducing training time.
• Quality: Includes stripping, refurbishing, and inspecting the module, upgrading electrical systems, and adding a new chassis

 Buying a New Ambulance

• Modern Features: Access to the latest technology, safety innovations, and the most modern electrical components.
• Maximum Lifespan: A completely new vehicle ensures the longest possible service life before requiring major overhauls.
• Customization: Full flexibility to design the interior layout from scratch to meet new operational needs.
• Warranty: Full OEM warranty on both the module and the chassis. 

 Which Option to Choose?
Remounting is ideal for departments with high-quality, existing modules that have outlasted their original chassis and want to maximize budget without compromising safety. Buying new is best when existing modules are worn out, require significant, costly repairs, or when upgrading to a different size or completely new technology.
