“The MXP 170DFE is a clear representation of our commitment to building intelligent ambulances and vehicles that truly address the evolving needs of EMS professionals,” said Kris Turner, U.S. Channel Development Director for Demers Ambulances. “If it feels like this ambulance was built with your crew in mind, it is!

We focused on further enhancing responder safety while improving operational workflow, and providing agencies with a reliable, innovative solution for high-demand environments.”

Intentionally built for high-volume EMS/Fire operations, the MXP 170DFE offers industry-leading storage solutions with durable exterior compartments featuring dual seals to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, the integrated high-visibility flush-mounted windows are designed to prevent leaks, reduce repair costs, and enhance safety and visibility during emergency response operations.

Inside, customizable cabinetry meets the diverse needs of departments while maintaining clear, organized spaces for critical equipment. The innovative dual HVAC ducted diffusion system provides separate hot and cold air channels, ensuring consistent patient comfort in all climates.

Supporting operational efficiency and long-term fleet management, the MXP 170DFE features EcoSmart technology, which reduces fuel consumption and minimizes environmental impact.
