EQUIPMENT
At Coastal EMS, our equipment selection is based upon the latest advances in ambulance transportation and the advice of our paramedics and EMTs. Through this process we have developed an inventory of superior equipment and vehicles that sets Coastal EMS apart from all other providers.
Ambulances
Coastal EMS has selected the AEV (American Emergency Vehicles) DR 90 Trauma Hawk as our primary ambulances. The foundation of AEV's reputation is based on the quality workmanship and careful attention to detail that goes into each and every one of their ambulances.
AEV is nestled deep in the North Carolina Mountains, where the old-fashioned values of family, pride, honesty and hard work are still a way of life, there is an ambulance manufacturer where craftsmanship still reigns supreme. These values are what has made AEV one of Americas largest manufacturers.
