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."
