Torsus has launched the new Terrastorm Ambulance, designed to operate where conventional emergency vehicles cannot. 

Built on the Volkswagen Crafter platform with MAN’s TGE 4Motion drivetrain, it is engineered for off-road conditions and can be configured for patient transport, rapid response or intensive care.

The ambulance comes in three lengths up to 7.4 metres, offering up to 15.5m³ of usable space. High-roof models provide 2.18 metres of standing height, giving paramedics room to work inside. Large rear and sliding side doors allow quick and safe loading of patients and equipment, while flexible seating with proper harnesses ensures security even over rough terrain.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel producing 410Nm, paired with a 4×4 system that includes locking differentials and an optional low-range transfer case. Reinforced suspension, heavy-duty tyres and full underbody protection provide durability and traction in demanding conditions, while a winch is fitted for self-recovery in remote areas. Ground clearance is 250mm.

Recent upgrades improve flood and extreme-weather capability. A factory-fit snorkel, watertight door seals and a custom breather kit allow wading up to 520mm. The underside also receives a corrosion-resistant coating, and suspension refinements enhance stability on rough terrain.

“From mountain rescue support, flood response rural and off-road emergencies to natural disaster relief and the provision of medical support in the event of major incidents and accidents in extremely remote areas, the Torsus Terrastorm Ambulance can go virtually anywhere any time,” said Yuliya Khomych, Chief Strategy Officer at Torsus.

“It offers far more space and medical capability than a pickup, while remaining lighter and more agile than a heavy truck,” added Khomych. “ This balance of capacity and maneuverability makes it the ultimate emergency vehicle for tough terrain and in situations where the topography, weather conditions or other obstacles such as power lines make access and rescue by helicopter or other means difficult or impossible.”

Inside, the Terrastorm can be fitted with stretchers, ventilators, oxygen systems and other medical equipment as required. Externally, LED beacons, sirens, loudspeakers and high-output headlights provide visibility and authority in any environment. 

Pricing starts at €130,000 (approx. $230,000), with service and warranty support available through Volkswagen and MAN dealer networks worldwide.
