We are inspired by the possibilities of greening EMS fleets to lessen our collective impact on the environment. That’s why we are committed to being on the leading edge of green and sustainable vehicle technologies and incorporating these innovations into the products and solutions that we offer.
Anti-idle technology reduces the amount of time an engine idles. The Rowland Emergency anti-idle system is a cost-effective device designed to reduce fuel expense and carbon emissions in Emergency Response Vehicles through active monitoring of both battery capacity and vehicle ambient temperature.
Our anti-idle device is a computerized monitoring system that interfaces directly with the vehicle’s battery and engine system. When a vehicle is placed in park, a computer actively monitors the vehicle’s cabin temperature and battery voltage. If the temperature and voltage are within the pre-set optimal ranges, the vehicle’s engine will turn off. After the engine has turned off, the computer continues its system monitoring, and once the temperature or voltage falls outside of the optimal range, the vehicle’s engine will turn on until the vehicle is restored to the optimal range.
Solar panels on an ambulance fleet is an innovative and cost-effective approach to using solar energy to supplement the electrical needs of ambulances. Solar panels can successfully charge the emergency vehicle’s secondary battery which powers on-board equipment such as defibrillators, satellite navigation systems and communication devices, thereby reducing shoreline charging and ensuring your fleet is always powered up and ready to go.
Rowland Emergency's mini electric ambulance is ideally suited for indoor events (conventions) as well as street permit events such as festivals. Ultimately, we would like to help Emergency Medical Service providers reach their long-term community sustainability plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting low-carbon transportation.
