This MX 164 remount featured a 2017 module, totally reconditioned on a brand-new chassis. Remounting an ambulance doubles its lifecycle while keeping a seamless experience for paramedics on the field. OAPC attendees confirmed: it is hard to tell the difference between this remounted ambulance and a brand-new one. In fact, more and more Canadian EMS are leveraging remounts as part of their fleet procurement strategy, allowing for savings of between $70,000 and $ 90,000 per unit. Once stacked, those savings enable a new unit purchase to be totally auto-financed. When sustainability meets cost-effectiveness, it&#8217;s a winning move.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1603185 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1603185\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.demers-ambulances.com\/ca-en\/ambulance-remount\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6be5eaf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6be5eaf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10ab86b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"10ab86b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A symposium of reflection and vision<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f222d38 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f222d38\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7c8e80 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e7c8e80\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69c291a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69c291a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Marking its 25th year, a specific OAPC committee collaborated with Medavie and partners to create a comprehensive retrospective on the evolution of Ontario EMS, featuring artifacts of vehicles and medical equipment.
