Wheeled Coach Celebrates 50 Years of Industry-Leading Emergency Vehicle Design and Innovation

WINTER PARK, Fla – March 19, 2025 – Wheeled Coach, a brand of REV Group, Inc.’s subsidiary REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc., and an industry-leading manufacturer of emergency vehicles celebrates 50 years of designing and manufacturing ambulances to serve EMS.

Wheeled Coach was founded in 1975 by Robert Collins Sr. in downtown Orlando, starting with a team of five employees who manufactured mobility vans and Type 2 ambulances. Today the company employs over 700 employees and has built and delivered over 50,000 ambulances to large and small municipalities, and commercial fleets across the globe, in addition to being an approved ambulance supplier for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). Every ambulance is built in-house in Winter Park, Florida by the team of manufacturing and engineering experts who customize each Wheeled Coach emergency vehicle according to customers’ precise specifications. Wheeled Coach is sold and supported by a dedicated, professional dealer network and is backed by a comprehensive product warranty for exceptional aftermarket support.

“Wheeled Coach is an iconic, thriving brand. REV Group has continually invested in the Wheeled Coach facilities, equipment and employee training to build on that legacy – so we can better serve emergency care providers from small rural agencies to large metropolitan providers such as the Fire Department of New York (FDNY),” said Mark Van Arnam, president, REV Ambulance Group. “This anniversary is a celebration of what we, with our dealers, have accomplished, and a commitment to our future.”

• Conduct IIHS Side Impact Criteria Crash and Roll-Over Testing
• Receive the ISO Certified ambulance manufacturer accreditation
• Produce CNC machine-cut doors for repeatable accuracy
• Engineer internal emergency door releases
• Introduce the patented Cool-Bar™ for improved air flow, more accessibility to the compressor and enhanced exterior lighting
