Are we designing a car, an ambulance a fire fighting vehicle or a mountain rescue vehcle.
Should an ambulance be a mobile hospital equivilent of the Flying doctors.
trecherous roads are said to cause many traffic accidents so should an ambulance also be a rescue vehicle. winches and a device to secure the vehicle could allow the electic motor to be used as a crane. Devices such as 'jaws of life' and 'Porta-power' are hydraulic and could also be powered from a EV PTO.
