Waev Launches All-New GEM Ambulance

The Quicker, Safer and More Reliable Response Vehicle for Local Environments

ANAHEIM, CA, UNITED STATES, July 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Waev Inc., a leading electric vehicle OEM, launches the all-new GEM Ambulance – a purpose-built, all-electric, street-legal low speed vehicle (LSV) designed for emergency medical services (EMS) response in dense environments such as campuses, cities, communities, entertainment venues and events.

The GEM Ambulance expands Waev’s commitment to deliver the most complete lineup of commercial electric vehicles for local use – regardless of budget, infrastructure or job. Built to safely, quickly and reliably transport EMS professionals, patients and medical equipment, it offers a smart alternative to full-size vehicles.

“Low-speed vehicles are simply a smarter solution for local transportation – whether upgrading from a golf cart or utility vehicle to a purpose-built, street-legal GEM or downsizing from a full-size emergency vehicle,” said Byron Dudley, vice president, Waev Inc. “The GEM Ambulance fills a critical gap in medical response – delivering the ideal balance of agility and safety EMS teams need in crowded settings.”

A Better Experience for Patients and Professionals
The GEM Ambulance features factory-integrated QTAC^® EMS skids from MTECH, Inc., providing emergency response professionals with the equipment needed to tend to patients. Developed in partnership with QTAC, a leader in emergency response equipment for UTVs and trucks, the professional-grade skids include:
- Secure patient transport via longboard, stokes basket or stretcher
- Attendant seat next to patient for in-transit care
- Optional roll out and lockable storage (EMS-R model)
- Lightweight, easily removable mounting system for vehicle reconfigurations
- PolyTough™ construction, a highly durable, UV-resistant polyethylene material known for its rugged performance in the harshest conditions
- Optional O2 bottle and IV mounts (EMS R model)
- Skid mounted between the wheels for ultimate stability unlike UTVs or carts
- Two-year warranty on all skids to match GEM’s vehicle warranty

“Waev’s GEM platform opens a new market for localized, on-road emergency response with electric low-speed vehicles,” said Jason Black, President of QTAC. “Coupled with our QTAC line of EMS skids, the GEM creates a mobile emergency response solution that is highly maneuverable and able to reach areas that larger, traditional response vehicles simply can’t – all without compromising the needs of first responders.”

Designed for Safety and Confidence

- Abrams red emergency lighting with 360-degree coverage and SAE Class 1 compliance

The GEM Ambulance’s quiet electric powertrain enables clear communication among EMS professionals, patients and bystanders while the zero tailpipe emissions protect their air quality. And GEM’s professional appearance helps to instill public confidence during emergencies.

Proven EV Platform, Minimal Maintenance
