Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in the UK has created a once-off Amarok ambulance for the East Midlands emergency response service.

The Amarokulance has a 4Motion all-wheel drive system and a snorkel. It also had a wading depth of 500mm.

Naturally, the canopy on the back has been equipped with all the normal ambulance fare, including life saving equipment and a bed for the patient.

For now it’s only a once off, but it seems as if VW is hoping for a government contract to build more.

These things would be perfectly suited to SA, don’t you think?

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
