Connectivity and compatibility driving operational performance

Paramedic services rely on evolving technologies to keep operations efficient, whether for dispatch, fleet management, communication with hospitals, or telemedicine. The coming years will reshape prehospital care, and Demers designs every vehicle with that horizon in mind. The new MMC multiplex positions the ambulance at the centre of a continuously evolving ecosystem, giving EMS services access to a broad range of data generated by their vehicles to strengthen day-to-day efficiency.

ECOSmart anti-idling system

Reduce operational costs across the fleet with the ECOSmart anti-idling system. This Demers technology can lower fuel consumption by more than 40 % and cut CO₂ emissions by 4.5 t per vehicle each year. By limiting engine wear, ECOSmart helps reduce maintenance costs and supports a lower total cost of ownership for ambulances equipped with the option.

Bluetooth electrical diagnostics

Reduce downtime by identifying electrical issues more quickly. With this exclusive feature, real-time vehicle data is available without specialized tools or technical training. It also allows our Customer Care support team to assist remotely with greater ease, helping get the ambulance back in service sooner.
