HC Plastics News: Nilsson's ambulance is based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the Volvo XC70, with four-wheel drive and improved ground clearance. Now, the Volvo XC90 replaces the Mercedes Sprinter and the Volvo XC70 and is used in new ambulances, which offer the same features, but with a larger compartment volume, which improves the working conditions of the staff. The main markets for Nilsson ambulances are Sweden and Norway, but it is also possible to expand to other European countries.
The NilssonXC90 ambulance project was launched in June 2016 and has since completed some testing for the new prototype, with a focus on safety and the work environment. The wheelbase of the Nilsson XC90 is extended by 1m, which is the standard size of the current Nilsson XC70 ambulance, but the cabin becomes wider (11cm), taller (26cm) and longer (15cm). In order to make full use of the space, the interior has become more compact. The new ambulance is designed to give ambulance personnel easy access to all the necessary equipment while wearing a seat belt. Ergonomic improvements, such as lower inlet heights and electric stretchers, also minimize lifting weight.
Advanced technology and lightweight performance are trademarks of Nilsson vehicles. Therefore, when making the necessary adjustments, the focus is on making light and spacious vehicles based on the strength of the structure, which is necessary for heavy-duty in-vehicle equipment. Using advanced sandwich composites and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, Nilsson has created this lightweight new ambulance based on strength and rigidity.

In partnership with Nilsson, a Swedish company specializing in composites, Faiber Komposit, manufactures the body of both new and old ambulances.
For the Nilsson XC70, its complete body module is produced by applying carbon fiber skin to the slotted and perforated Divinycell core material for easy resin flow. In order to speed up the production process and optimize the quality of the laminate, the CNC-processed Diab core kits are ready for use. The RTM process used consists of a female mold and a punch, and the parts are self-contained on both sides, minimizing any subsequent finishing operations.
Nilsson increases production flexibility by producing body modules in a completely separate production process rather than building body modules directly on the vehicle chassis. Recently, Nilsson received a contract for the provision of veterinary vehicles for the Swedish Agriculture Council and a preliminary agreement to provide ambulances to the Västra Götalandsregionen health district.
