Our Response Vehicles
MD099
Our primary response vehicle is a Land Rover Discovery, which has been generously provided by Jaguar Land Rover. This excellent platform provides us with a highly capable 4×4 Response Vehicle that ensures our medical team are able to deploy rapidly in all weather conditions to critically injured and ill patients across the West Midlands. Innovation and development within our service has meant more equipment and space is needed.

New MD097
The West Midlands CARE Team’s new emergency response car has started it journey towards becoming operational. Following the generous donation and continued support from County Air Ambulance HELP Appeal, the Volvo XC90 was selected as the latest addition to the team’s fleet and will be the main vehicle providing safety and comfort for the charity’s volunteer clinicians delivering immediate care across the region. Travelling across the country to Newmarket, Suffolk to reach Triple9 for conversion to a blue light emergency vehicle. The team at Triple9 will expertly transition the car for the challenges of response work, including the electrics, lights, communications, as well as the body work. CARE is very grateful to the support from Triple9 and will be in proud partnership.
