There are big differences between ambulance manufacturers. The innovations of some bring ideas to life. And creative is not necessarily innovative. At Life Line Emergency Vehicles we take innovation seriously. We look at innovation as a way to improve long term lasting value for our customers.

Our original motto, "The next generation of ambulances will follow our lead" continues to provide our focus. Life Line has always been an innovator in terms of quality, technology and organization. For example, Life Line is thirty percent employee owned, with long-term employees who take quality seriously. We also were one of the original manufacturers to participate in Ford's Quality Vehicle Modifier program. These two commitments make us proud because they demonstrate ways that we transfer our focus to the quality and integrity of each vehicle.

Life Line Emergency Vehicles are built to the highest industry standards and continue to earn the respect of the ambulance industry. We are proud to be one of the original twelve-ambulance manufacturers in the United States to submit vehicles for testing. As a result, you can be sure that every Life Line vehicle is designed with Federal KKK-A-1822 specifications in mind.

When it comes to setting ambulance standards, we are an active member of the Ambulance Manufacturer Division (AMD) of the NTEA. We are also active in the New NFPA committee on Ambulance Standards. We take these responsibilities seriously and use everything we learn to continue an on-going commitment to proven innovation and continuous product improvement.

As an additional example of innovation, we continue to be the only manufacturer to offer proprietary aluminum extrusions that add strength, improve stability and contribute to the quiet comfort of every vehicle we build. We were the first to offer Labyrinth-style door construction, a double aluminum insulated floor and a two-piece aluminum crash rail. Life Line ambulances are also known for their state of the art TST electrical system. Our electrical inovations include override (back-up) switching with input and output LED's.

Life Line's Type I and Type III modular ambulances are built in Sumner, Iowa by more than 170 men and women dedicated to maintaining our quality heritage. They take personal responsibility for the quality of each vehicle. Their commitment has established Life Line as a premier ambulance manufacturer — and the number one reason people nationwide say, "Sure, I've heard of Sumner, Iowa. That's where our Life Line ambulance was built!"
