A mix of old and new

Please tell me you don't run a gasoline powered ambulance.

Our MICUs (and every single other ambulance within 100 miles of here) are diesel powered. You need the torque and long term reliability, and fuel mileage of diesel.

My own personal truck is even a diesel. Once you get used to getting 18 mpg pulling a loaded trailer, you'll never go back to gas power work trucks.

Good luck on the national registry Paramedic test too.
