NOTICE – For all Ford Motor Company vehicles, the following is from the 2006 Ford Body Builders Layout Book, page 4 “Definitions of Terms”:

“Ambulance – …Ford Motor Company also includes within its definition of ambulance any vehicle that is used for transporting life-support equipment, for rescue operations, or for non-emergency patient transfer if the engine of the vehicle is equipped with a ‘throttle kicker’ device, which enables an operator to increase engine speed over normal idle speed when the vehicle is not moving.”

Due to the required shaft speed of the Raven generator unit, which requires use of a “throttle kicker” to operate the generator at maximum output, Ford Motor Company therefore considers this vehicle to be an ambulance. Vehicle thus requires the optional Ford Ambulance Prep. Package.
