he relationship between West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) and Fiat Professional, which goes back more than a decade, has been vital in keeping on top of the increased demand experienced during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The service has a mission-critical core fleet of 480
ambulances and a wider fleet of 1,300 vehicles, including specialist hazardous and major incident response units. These hard-working vehicles and teams of paramedics cover 5,000 square miles across the region and the fleet puts 20 million miles on the clock each year. The vast majority of the ambulance fleet (97%) is made up of Fiat Professional Ducato.
