Special Project: GMC Savana 3500 Ambulance Conversion
Fanar Al Khaleej International turns the dependable Savana into a fast, hygienic, and fully equipped emergency response unit—engineered in the UAE and delivered worldwide.
When seconds matter, equipment and layout must work flawlessly. Fanar Al Khaleej International’s Special Projects team has converted the GMC Savana 3500 (extended wheelbase) into a complete Mobile Ambulance—built for rapid deployment, easy cleaning, and safe patient handling. From sterile interior panels and anti-slip flooring to dual oxygen lines, smart electrics, and life‑saving devices, every element is purpose-built. This project reflects our global capability to design, build, and deliver innovative emergency vehicles that meet demanding clinical and operator needs.
